Does it bother you when someone calls baseball points instead of runs?

On SVP show - Joe Maddon, professional MLB manager keeps calling them points instead of runs. It bothers me, WTF?

Don't like it when people call em RBI's....its RBI, period. Whether its 1 or 5. 1 RBI or 5 RBI, can't be 5 RBI's.

Run or Runs Batted In. RBI

I agree Jack, it gets under my skin alot & irritates me to no end. In baseball, its runs, in hockey its goals & in basketball/football, its points. Its not rocket science lol.
