I tried to use the same method to generate the RBI list for Miguel Cabrera as I did for Bryce Harper (but using a yearly total check to make sure I was being accurate) and ran into a problem. That is when a run scores during a player's at-bat, and the Run is attributed to them but doesn't count in their RBI total. This happened on July 30, 2003 where 4 runs scored during an at-bat for Cabrera but he only got 3 RBI.

This particular plate appearance was messing me up, while it shows RRO for Cabrera, only 1 of the RBI counted. Here are the details:

Groundout: 2B unassisted/Forceout at 2B; Pierre Scores/unER; Castillo Scores/Adv on E4 (throw)/No RBI/unER

I had not seen the "no RBI" notation because widescreen view is disabled by default, and I wasn't verifying the RBI on the game log page vs the R on the R/O column of the play list.
Now considering it took me 30 minutes to only go through 2003 and backtrack every game to find the issue, I'm feeling like the manual approach is going to take forever. BUT, I did find that potentially I can just run a report on baseball-reference to find this information, but it is locked behind a subscription service.

Is there anyone here that already has a Stathead Baseball subscription that can view the "Results" on this page?
