"Come to bat" có từ bat là gậy đánh bóng chày; bước đến vị trí đánh bóng (khi đội nhà đang thua/bị dẫn điểm, chẳng hạn...) -> nghĩa là gặp phải tình huống khó khăn, hóc búa, phải trải qua thử thách.

Ví dụ
He's come into debates (tranh luận) after a weak performance (as he did in July of last year) and come to bat cleanup after his running mate's weak performance.

Every time Parra has come to bat at home games, the fans have been on their feet dancing and singing along, and even the organist at the team's home stadium did a rendition (diễn).

But Soto did not come to bat with the Dodgers holding a two-run lead; Rendon cut the margin to 3-2. Left-handed (thuận tay trái, vụng về, không thành thực, có ẩn ý) specialist (chuyên gia) Adam Kolarek, who had retired Soto all three times he faced him in the series with two strikeouts, wasn't even warming up.
