do like that Jay is giving younger guys chances to prove themselves for next year
Reeves is a senior. He’s out of eligibility after this season. I do rather see Yamin though.

If he scored two runs and he hit another runner in (RBI) that means he accounted for 3 total runs scored.
You are missing his point.Each run is batted in as well as scored. If you are going to give a player credit for his runs scored and his RBIs, then you have to double the runs scored before you divide them into his total in order to get his contribution.
We had guys saying that Reeves had 2 runs scored and one batted in, therefore he accounted for about ten percent of the 33 runs scored. But that’s faulty. The equation should be three divide by 66.

I trust Jay has seen enough behind the scenes to know what he has in each player and he’s putting his best 9 on the field.

RP = 1(rbi) + 1(run scored) - 1 (home run)
I know this isn't your formula. But this is such an antiquated way of thinking. If you are counting things like that, an HR should count twice. Or more simply, an RBI and run should each be .5.
Think of this scenario.
Runners at first and third. Batter A hits a grounder to SS. Run scores, fielder's choice at 2nd. Batter A gets a RBI. Batter B comes up and cranks a 2 run homer.
Batter A = 2 RP = 1 run + 1 rbi
Batter B = 2 RP = 1 run + 1 rbi - 1 HR
The fielder's choice results in an out and only gets you a run b/c there happened to be someone on 3rd. The home run results in no outs and 2 runs. The batters are credited with the same amount of RC. I don't think anyone would argue those at-bats are equal, yet they are valued the same in that formula.

Reeves family must be very good supporters

This is flawed because Batter A will not count as a Run it is only scored as an RBI, as to Batter A did not score in this scenario.
So, for your scenario for Batter A his RP is only 1 because of the RBI
The only time a batter will get a Run and RBI at the same at bat is when that batter hits a home run.

You kinda missed a couple of key points there.
1) My scenario had the next batter hitting a 2 run HR. So "Batter A" could score on the next pitch. 1 rbi, 1 run
2) The old formula that people are using in this thread punishes a batter for a home run. The formula is:
RP (Runs Produced) = Runs + RBI - HRs
The purpose is not to give a batter 2 credits for a home run. I pointed out a flaw in it b/c someone could have a less productive AB and get the same credit as someone with a much better AB. To be fair, all formulas like this will have some flaws.

That's covered in other stats though. This isn't meant to be a silver bullet stat that tells the relative value of everything. It's just a counting stat to say how many runs you've contributed to.
