* GoKartingWithBowser: What the episode ends up being; the Homeworld Rubies in general play by the rules and, aside from a few snarls, are downright friendly with the heroes. They even thank Steven for telling them where Jasper supposedly is before leaving, without causing any further trouble in spite of the earlier deception.

Added DiffLines:

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The Homeworld Rubies in general; they believe near everything Steven tells them, play baseball fairly, and they can't even ''count themselves'' properly. About the only thing they do right is fuse to become a threat...and even that they don't do entirely right, since they happily and politely leave as soon as Steven tells them Jasper is on Neptune.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Surprisingly averted; there's no hint of Sapphire using her future vision in order to know where to be to win the baseball game, and the Rubies don't seem to use any advantage to cheat aside from their natural strength. Amethyst does use her RollingAttack to make a very quick home run, but Steven makes sure it doesn't happen again lest it blows their cover.
