It's a whole new ball game, so you're going to have to step up to the plate.
These numbers aren't even in the ball park; You're way off base.
He's really on the ball. Every once in a while he'll throw you a curve.
I'm in a rush. Just give me the run down.

She plays hard ball and I struck out.
He got it right off the bat.
I can't get there in time so you're up.
She went to bat for me and knocked it right out of the park.
You're in the big-leagues now, you screwball.
