If the double play doesn't end the inning it's ruled a fielders choice, which doesn't go as an RBI

Wrong! A batter is not awarded an RBI when grounding into a double play. If he were to beat it out and therefore hit into a fielders choice, then he would get the RBI. Trading an out for a run warrents an RBI, but not 2 outs.

becuz its a fielders choice. that means the fielder the batter hit it 2 had the choice of getting whoever he wanted 2 out. same as if it were a sac fly. a run scores thanks 2 the batter but he gave up an out 2 get the run in. and he didnt BAT the run in. the runner on base saw the opportunity 2 score and ran himself in.

the fielder, by making no attempt to get the scoring run out at home, simply "gave" up the run, therefore, the batter had no positive outcome in the play.

Because it's a fielders choice, the fielder has the option of throwing to home plate.

The theory basically comes down to one out being worth a run, but not two outs.

Holy cow, only because they weren't good enough to pull of a triple play! He didn't do anything! Actually he was a disgrace!

He does get credit for a RBI, but not for a base hit
