The angels currently have 29 RBIs but only 23 runs per MLB.com

How is this possible?

Eta: never mind. Guy who made the spreadsheet pulled the data wrong

Probably a mistake.

You can have Runs > RBI, but I can't think of a way you can have RBI > Runs.

It can't.

Also mlb.com shows Angels with 35 RBI and 35 Runs.

Sounds like it's an error on the site's part because that's not possible.

You cant. But when you think about it, it really should be possible.

For example, baseball has no problem not giving you an RBI when you score hit in a run on a double play.

So, if I hit a double, and a guy on third doesnt score because he pulls a hamstring or drips over his dick, I should still get a RBI.
