Date	Question	Answer
2015-10-06 19:30:00 (link to chat)	I remember when I was young, real men like Lew Burdette and Sandy Koufax would pitch complete game shutouts in WS Game 7 on 2 days rest. (oldbopper from New Britain, CT)	It was a very different era, and probably everyone on both of these teams would take Burdette deep on two days rest. - JP (AL Wild Card Game Chat)
2014-07-25 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for reply on my Head Tilt question. Do you have any comments about Lincecum related to head tilt? (HeftyLefty from San Mateo)	Lincecum's head-tilt appears to be more of a blatant manipulation than a lack of functional strength. The head starts to sell out once the rotational elements kick into gear, immediately after foot strike. Sandy Koufax did the same thing, and given that Lincecum patterned his delivery after Koufax, I think that the tilt is an intentional movement designed to elevate his arm slot. On the jukebox: Dredg, "Information" (Doug Thorburn)
2014-05-02 14:00:00 (link to chat)	If you had to pick one guy out of these prospects who is going to underwhelm throughout his career, who would it be? Giolito, Bundy, Walker, Gausman, Syndergaard, Zimmer or Stephenson (Adam from FL)	Forcing me to take the cynical side, eh? This is actually a really intriguing question, as the focus on prospects tends to resemble a dream state, but it is just as pertinent to ask who will fail to develop. We actually have a really strong corps of young pitchers coming up through the ranks right now, and I am relatively optimistic on all of these guys. These guys fit a couple of categories - you have TJ survivors, a currently disabled arm, a pitcher who has been bitten in his first exposure to the show, etc. If I had to pick one to underwhelm, I guess it would have to be Giolito, but that is mostly because his perceived ceiling has grown to astronomical proportions and he will probably underwhelm unless he becomes Sandy Koufax. On the jukebox: Pantera, "Becoming" (Doug Thorburn)
2014-02-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)	You are a wizard. You are able to take the medical acumen of 2014 and transport it back to 1955. You can then use that acumen to better treat Sandy Koufax. Will his mechanics still doom him to a shortened career? (dianagram from VORGville)	I doubt it. I think he gets a handful of extra years, even if they aren't super-elite and instead just "good". (Paul Sporer)
2013-04-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)	If you could go back and give any player a completely healthy career to see what they could do with their full capabilities, who would you pick? I'm having a tough time deciding between Mickey Mantle and Eric Davis... (Nick from Los Feliz, CA)	Hey Nick, this is another fun one. I'm tempted to say Bo Jackson because of the tools, but I don't know how complete a ballplayer he would have become even without the injury. A healthy career from Davis boggles the mind. I literally get goosebumps thinking about it. I'll go with Davis. On the pitching side, Sandy Koufax or Bret Saberhagen. (Geoff Young)
