Date	Question	Answer
2013-05-10 14:00:00 (link to chat)	A Yankee broadcaster said that Dave Robertson has the longest stride in baseball despite his limited height. Is this true (or close to true) and, if so, what should other pitchers be learning from Dave Robertson? (edwardarthur from Illinois)	Robertson has a surprisingly long stride, no doubt, but I would respectfully disagree with the "longest in baseball" hyperbole. Robertson has a long stride thanks to steady momentum and a huge leg lift that allows him to track further forward before the leg comes back down into foot strike, resulting in a longer stride than one would expect from a 5'11" guy, but there are pitchers with longer limbs and similar lift patterns who also take advantage of greater momentum. I wrote about deep release points in today's article, and I would guess that Yu Darvish has a longer stride than Robertson, just to name one example. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=20534 (Doug Thorburn)
2011-09-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	One last question and I know it may be early for this one... Any hitters or pitchers you like a breakout candidates next year? (Jquinton82 from NY)	Hm, I like the look of Jerome Williams in a small sample this year. I think Fister and McCarthy may be the real deal, though they're not exactly breakout candidates any more. I like Brian Duensing coming into this season, and still do. Dave Robertson and Kenley Jansen are two names that will surprise no one, but they could end up in bigger roles. In that vein, Greg Holland for the Royals, Vinnie Pestano for the Indians. And in the this-guys-stuff-intrigues-me-but-his-wildness-scares-me category, plus he has a cool name: Fautino de los Santos. (Mike Fast)
2011-03-24 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who's your pick for "first all-star Yankees fan demand a small-market team trade to them for a pile of sweatsocks and an Orange Julius"? (Ratcatcher from Narnia)	Are we not counting Francisco Liriano? Because that already happened. Beyond that, "Dave Robertson for Ubaldo Jimenez. Who says no?!?!" (Emma Span)
2009-08-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Speaking of Hughes, should we all prepare to go through the same nonsense ("he's too valuable in the 8th to make him a starter!") with him next year that we went through with Joba this year? (Dan from NYC)	Almost certainly, alas. Perhaps by the end of the year, Dave Robertson will be so established, with his 13 strikeouts per nine, that folks will be able to accept that there's more than one way for the bullpen to work. Girardi has done a good job of working these problems out for two consecutive years. (Steven Goldman)
2009-08-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Fittingly enough, since you're the history guy, that Dave Robertson link goes to the Giants and Cubs OF of the late 10's and early 20's. (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS)	He could hit a little, too, but with a slightly late start, an interruption for World War I service, and an early finish there wasn't much of a career there... Did you see that the last British vet of WWI died about a week ago? He was something like 111, and a pacifist... One of the books in my ever-widening on-deck circle is Martin Gilbert's book on the Somme... (Steven Goldman)
2009-05-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Steven. Do you think the Yankees should trade or release Veras and Ramirez? (Kevin from Texas)	My coffee finally arrived... It's easy to get frustrated with Veras and Ramirez, particularly the latter because he's so vulnerable to the home run. He's been a mess this year, with more walks than he can sustain, more than anyone this side of Nolan Ryan could sustain, and the longball rate is insane. He shouldn't be released, nor should Veras, but there's certainly an argument to be made for sending him down given that he's done just about nothing right so far. The question is, who do you replace him with? The Yankees have already sorted through Mark Melancon and Dave Robertson and are now looking at Brett Tomko for goshsakes. Steve Jackson sat in the pen for two weeks without being tried like he had been blacklisted or something... Veras's problem has always been control, and it's probably worth giving him more time to get it locked down again. Unlike Ramirez, he's not a gimmick pitcher. (Steven Goldman)

2010-10-06 10:00:00	2010 Playoffs Day One	ddanyc (nyc): Predictions for Yankee bullpen usage? Joba to start the 7th with Logan to face any lefty tying-run? I really hope not. Joba has been depressing of late. I'd rather Dave Robertson. BTW, as my pal 'n' colleague at the Pinstriped Bible, Cliff Corcoran pointed out today, so much about what seemed good about the Yankees bullpen lately might have just been a BABIP fluctuation. (Steven Goldman)
2009-11-02 17:00:00	2009 WS Game Five	Errata: I said shoulder about Dave Robertson in my sidebar to the WS Preview. Should have said elbow. Everything else holds true. Quick question -- why not a SOMA/Kitchen Sink game for the Yankees in Game Six. Pettitte for a couple, Chamberlain for a couple, Gaudin if necessary, then Hughes/Marte/Rivera as needed. (Will Carroll)
