Yeah I know. That was in reference to the article constantly referring to foul balls as foul tips.
Kinda like when baseball announcers call them RBI's. It just irks me. It is not Runs Batted Ins!  Quote:

When abbreviating, the singular or plural are abbreviated the same way. That is why you go 60 mph, not 60 m'sph.
 That is why technically it is RBI. Quote:
