The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training

Continuity mistake: When Manning first writes the word "assume" on the blackboard, it is written down towards the left center of the board. Then later in the scene, the word switches position to the upper left part of the board, then eventually back to the left center again.

Other mistake: When some of the team is visiting Lupus, there is a picture given to Lupus of him catching a long fly ball in his glove from the first movie. However, the picture taken was up close and there is no way a picture that close could have been taken as nobody with a camera was anywhere around him on the field when the catch was made. In addition, nobody expected him to catch it, so the close up picture is not possible in reality.

Continuity mistake: In addition to the words on the blackboard changing position, the lines separating the letters in "assume" change lengths - not to the middle of the board, then longer past the middle, and then shorter.

Continuity mistake: When Kelly Leak is driving to Texas and the police car is behind the van, Kelly puts a cigarette in his mouth (hands-free). Then the cigarette is in his left hand to the side of the steering wheel, but the cigarette is back in his mouth (hands-free) when the police car pulls alongside the van. (00:17:53)

Factual error: After leaving California heading for Texas, the team is shown traveling on the road throughout the day, then we see them on the freeway driving into the sunset, then it's night as the team gets a hotel. If traveling east towards Texas as darkness is soon approaching, the sun would be behind them, not in front. They would be traveling west (not east).

Continuity mistake: When at the hotel, as the television news reporter in the background is interviewing Ahmad, we hear Ahmad say "We worked hard all season" followed immediately by the lady who runs the hotel shouting really loud. However, when the team watches the news on TV and see themselves, Ahmad says "we worked hard all season" followed by another sentence or two but this time we don't hear the lady shouting.

Plot hole: The game in Houston is only 4 innings. If it almost got called after 2 innings, it's obviously pressed for time. Although called safe for the win, if Kelly was called out at home plate at the end of the 4th, the game would have ended in a tie. No extra innings would be allowed for sure this time due to time factor, so how would a winning team be determined to play in Japan?

Suggested correction: This isn't a plot hole, it's a question. Asking "what would have happened if..." isn't a valid plot hole. The writers had no need to explain "what if" scenarios since they never would have occurred. However, to answer your question with plausible answers; 1) The Bears HAD to win in order to go to Japan and thus a tie would mean the Toros played Japan (like a champion retaining his title after a draw in a title fight). Or 2) They played a 2nd game at a later time.
