Synopsis[]

Plot[]

The episode begins with a montage of people practicing baseball and Tanya waved at Shawn and Adam came and told Tanya that she came just in time to see "The Sultan of Swat", which was Shawn's baseball nickname. Tanya asked Adam where Shawn got the nickname, and Adam said that it was one of Babe Ruth's nicknames. Tanya asked who Babe Ruth is and Adam said that he holds fifty major league records and Tanya apologized to Adam for not knowing much about baseball. Tanya told Adam to move from an incoming baseball and she caught it. The coach called her, and Tanya asked him if she did anything wrong, and the coach asked her if she pitched before, and Tanya said that she never held a baseball, and the coach wanted her to pitch the ball to Shawn and after getting him out three times, the coach was impressed and asked her what her plans are for tomorrow.

At the Machine Moon Base, King Mondo said that the rangers are engaged in children's games while they sit around doing nothing and Queen Machina told the others to make themselves useful and come up with a plan. Klank said that he had come up with a few plans, but they were seemed to be ignored, and Orbus said that they seem ignored because they are. King Mondo asked Prince Sprocket why don't he take a stab at coming up with a plan, and Sprocket said that King Mondo can count on him.

Meanwhile at Angel Grove High, Kat said that she couldn't believe that Tanya made the baseball team, and Tanya thanked her. Adam said that the way she pitched, she was a natural. Shawn arrived and Kat said that Tanya just told her about her baseball tryout and Shawn said that he would've been prouder of her if she struck someone else out instead. Adam said that the way she pitched the ball, no one couldn't hit it. Shawn disagreed and Tanya asked him to give her some credit and that she must've done something right for the coach to ask her to join the team. Shawn said that Tanya did alright for practice, but tomorrow's game would be difficult, and he wanted to make sure that Tanya was ready. Adam told Shawn that he and Rocky are supposed to meet at the batting cages tomorrow morning before the game and asked him does he want to meet them there and Shawn said that he'll be there.

Back at the Machine Moon Base, Prince Sprocket told the others that he has a plan to capture the rangers. He told them that he'll send his old pitching machine and that it will pinch very special baseballs. Queen Machina said that Orbus could be the ball and while Klank agrees, Orbus does not. King Mondo said that he's intrigued and lets Sprocket continue explaining his plan. Prince Sprocket said that if you hit a ball from his pitching machine, the machine will suck you inside, then they'll capture Shawn, Adam and Rocky and lure them as bait to capture the others and with the rangers out of the way, King Mondo would be free to rule the earth. King Mondo doesn't know how a father could be any prouder.

At the batting cages, Lt. Stone told Bulk and Skull that they were no doubt wondering why they are here so early and that today he had a very important assignment for them, which he called Operation Refuse Removal. He gave them their tp480s and their t150 receptacles and told them that he'll return at 1100 hours to check on their progress. Meanwhile, the Cogs were assembling Sprocket's pitching machine when they hear Bulk and Skull coming and they wanted to try to bat. That caused an argument until Rocky stepped in to break it up and told them to calm down. Shawn forgot his batting gloves, so he would meet them at practice, and he also told them to not work too hard and save some of those home runs for Stone Canyon.

Meanwhile at the Machine Moon Base, King Mondo said that Rocky's Zeonizer had been left utterly unattended and Queen Machina asked him would Sprocket mind if they send the Cogs to capture it. King Mondo agreed and said that it would be their little gift for doing such a magnificent job with the project. Queen Machina said that their parents should be so supportive and asked him if he thinks so.

Back at the batting cages, after Rocky hit the ball, the machine sucked him in, and Adam went to find him and People Pitcher appears and attacks Adam. Meanwhile, the Cogs appear and they went into Rocky's backpack and found Rocky's Zeonizer and said to Adam that the Zeonizer belongs to Sprocket and they and People Pitcher got away. Adam calls Billy and told him that People Pitcher swallowed Rocky whole and asked him if he have any idea where they took him. Billy said that he got a reading from the other side of the park and that he'll call the others and have them meet Adam there.

At the other side of the park, Tommy said that he, Adam and Kat didn't find anything, and Tanya said that she didn't find People Pitcher and hopes that Rocky is ok. People Pitcher, Sprocket and the Cogs appear and said to the rangers that if they're looking for Rocky, he's safe inside of the belly of People Pitcher and soon, the others will join him. Tommy got sucked into People Pitcher's belly and gave Rocky his Zeonizer and they reversed People Pitcher's gears to get out. After they battled the cogs, the rangers formed the Zeo Megazord to defeat People Pitcher.

At the game, Tanya reminded the team that they're two down and they need to keep it alive. Tommy said that he hopes Tanya has enough energy left for the rest of the inning and Kat agreed and that the fight with People Pitcher took a lot out of her thanks to King Mondo. Billy agreed and said that King Mondo's not a fan of baseball. After Angel Grove won the game, Shawn agreed that it was a nice game, but blames Tanya for almost giving up the whole game in the ninth inning. Adam defended her by saying that she had a one-run lead and her offense didn't give her anything. Shawn said that they won the game because of luck. Tanya stood up for herself and broke up with Shawn and Adam was proud of her. Adam also said that Shawn didn't deserve her.
