* ImprobableAimingSkills: The Denver team's pitcher is so accurate at throwing the ball he can intentionally hit players' bats. Likewise, their batters are so good that they can bat themselves out by hitting the ball just enough to land on a catcher's glove.

** Randy's insistence on picking drunk fistfights with other parents ends up getting South Park banned from the tournament altogether.
** The kids want to lose the tournament because they hate playing baseball and want to spend the summer doing something else. So, they recruit Kyle's phenomenally unathletic cousin onto the team as a "ringer" that will drag them down and make them lose. When they play against another team that also wants to lose the game for the exact same reason, the South Park team finds themselves winning in spite of Kyle's cousin. Turns out that the opposing team spent a lot of time training to make themselves as crappy as possible. Turns out that having a single, phenomenally-talented/untalented player won't be enough to carry you to victory/loss against a team where every single member puts in the effort to become as good/bad as possible.
