Mistakes
- Strikeout had “Bow Zock” on his sports uniform. (08:59)
- When the Rangers faced Strikeout, the sky had been sunny and clear over the baseball field, but it was cloudy and gray in the park. (09:56)
- Morphed T.J. batted right-handed, backwards from unmorphed T.J.’s batting stance. (10:36)
- Heath didn’t gather up any of his baseballs before taking off after T.J. (12:15)
- T.J. left Heath stranded without transportation at the top of the cliff. (13:58)
- Another day, Heath had a mountain bike in good condition beside him as he practiced his pitches, but his bike wouldn’t have been able to survive the fall down the cliff unscathed. (14:06)
- Alpha didn’t summon T.J. on his communicator while he was practicing with Heath. (14:44)
- When the Rangers faced Strikeout the second time, the sky had been sunny and clear over the baseball field, but it was again cloudy and gray in the park. (15:10)
- After the torpedoes had struck around him, Strikeout’s face grew red, and he blew steam out of his mouth before growing. (17:42)
