"Inside baseball" = bên trong bóng chày -> nghĩa đen là có kiến thức sâu rộng về bộ môn bóng chày, nghĩa bóng là những thông tin nội bộ, chỉ có người trong cuộc mới biết.
Ví dụ
Premier Dominic Perrottet has brushed off the Liberals’ unresolved preselection (chọn trước) of election candidates as an “inside baseball” distraction, while the party’s state director said the fallout from a branch-stacking operation (chiến dịch) may have damaged the party’s prospects at the March poll.
The premier said he had made it clear he wanted to see more women put their hand up to run. “I want the party to drive that,” he said. However, he said “preselections are matters for the party, and it’s inside baseball. The public expect their leaders to be focused on them”.
This is what intrigues (mưu đồ) me most about the scandal – don’t really care about the details of the affair but I do want to know the inside baseball that’s going down right now: the finger-pointing, who’s selling out who, which rivalries (ganh đua) are being exposed, and who smells an opportunity to advance. That’s the real show behind the show.
