Premise

Pixel is staying up too late at night playing video games, and Sportacus encourages him to get to sleep on time, explaining that sleep is the source of his own energy. Robbie overhears this and hatches a plan to deprive Sportacus of sleep by creating a “noisy ball” that keeps him awake all night. When Sportacus starts losing energy, Stephanie and the kids uncover Robbie's plot and they make sure to get lots of sleep so they can beat Robbie in an all-or-nothing baseball game.

Trivia

• A timeline hole exists between this episode and Defeeted: In this episode Sportacus doesn't know how play softball and Stephanie is teaching that to him, but in Defeeted the Mayor references the last year's Sportacular Sports Day when Sportacus did a baseball trick.
  • It is possible that Sportacus did a trick with a baseball, without actually playing the game itself, just as kicking the football as he did in Defeeted requires no knowledge of the soccer rules.
  • It is also possible that Sportacus knew how to play all along and is merely humoring Stephanie in this episode by letting her explain the game to him.
