'Go off the rails' = trệch khỏi đường ray -> đi sai hướng, hoặc (người) mất kiểm soát, hành động không đúng mực, không chấp nhận được.

Ví dụ 
Given all that complexity (rắc rối), Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley expected the show to go off the rails at some point. But he thinks the second season is, if anything, even stronger than the first.

Any time a conversation enters an “open domain"—meaning it spans (kéo dài, mở rộng) multiple topics or isn’t doing a very specific thing (looking up directions, or telling you movie times, for example)—the conversation can go off the rails.

Put a bunch of Democrats on the stage and they can’t help but go off the rails: They compete (ganh đua, đấu tranh) with each other to win the favor of liberal activists, and saddle (đặt nặng) themselves with unrealistic positions that could leave a nominee (người được đề cử) vulnerable in the general election.

Obviously some of this is hindsight (nhận thức muộn màng) -- it's not like anyone expected Fulmer's career to go off the rails the way it did -- but some of it is applicable to just about any pitcher. Injuries (chấn thương) happen, and sometimes the pitcher in question can never regain their former stuff or their former consistency (bền vững, phong độ).

Trump later called Ricardel and the FLOTUS staffers into the Oval, where they presented their versions of the FLOTUS Africa trip Ricardel had tried to keep from going off the rails due to the ignorance (ngu dốt, không biết) and insensitivity (thiếu nhạy cảm) of the First Lady’s staffers.
