Line 22:
A [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/charlie-sheen-play-mentor-role-160412 fourth movie] is reportedly in the works.
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Artistic License]]: Even if they are nobodies, they're playing in the big leagues, and in real life the players' union would never tolerate the indignities the Indians are subjected to (bus travel, no training equipment, etc.).
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Lou. He pulls this [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] into a [[Badass Crew|badass ball team]]. He's a tough disciplinarian but clearly loves the colorful and crazed players he's got.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
** He also takes a dummy's head off with a pitch.
* [[Hollywood Heart Attack]]: Averted with Lou's. One, he doesn't actually die from it; two, no one actually knows he's having one because he's in the middle of chewing out his players at the time.

'''Jake''': Who used heart attack?
'''Lou''': Me. ''(collapses)'' }}
* [[I Have Just One Thing to Say]]: "Strike this motherfucker ''out''!"
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: In the first movie, the team was literally built to lose. Dang, huh?
* [[Religious Russian Roulette]]: Pedro Cerrano threatens to leave Jobu unless he helps him hit a curveball. Then he does in his last at-bat:

* [[Reset Button]]: Obviously the team had to suck again and find a way to drag themselves back to success for the sequel... a sequel about an already successful team continuing to win would be [[Boring Invincible Hero|kinda dull]]. However, the sequel manages to avoid this trope in full by having the team suck largely because of entirely new problems that arose ''because of'' the success they had in the first movie.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Rachel Phelps
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Lampshaded in the second movie, when Brown (in the hospital pending heart surgery) tells Taylor (who will be managing the team in the decisive playoff game that night) not to do it; Taylor does it anyway, complete with a thick layer of [[Narm]]. Subverted in the third movie, when Cantrell says how he hates the Rousing Speech, but it's "in my contract"... then tells his team to "win this one... for me."
