Sporting clichés 与运动相关的商务词汇

In the episode , Kevin uses a couple of expressions that have their origins in the sporting field. He describes a competitor as another runner in this race and in the same game as we are. There are quite a few business expressions that sound like they have connections with sport.
Here are a few:

Step up to the plate
to take responsibility for doing something.
It is time companies stepped up to the plate and made sure the meat they sell is safe to eat.

Touch base
to talk to someone in order to find out how they are or what they think about something.
I had a really good time in Paris. I touched base with some old friends and made a few new ones.

Win-win
a situation in which whatever happens the result will be good.
He's in a no-lose situation. If he wins the tournament he gets a big bonus, and if he doesn't he's had
valuable experience.

Ballpark figure
an approximate number, but one that is still close enough to be useful
Can you give me a ballpark figure to rent a new office space in downtown Beijing?

The ball is in someone's court
someone has to do something before any progress can be made in a situation.
I've told him he can have his job back if he apologizes. The ball's in his court now.

Take the ball and run with it
to take an idea or plan and develop it further.
This is a good proposal. I think we should pick up the ball and run with it.

Swing for the fences
to set yourself a high target or to aim big. Probably originates from hitting a homerun in baseball.
Let’s swing for the fences on this one.
