Yankee fans like yourself are spoiled gutless brats. Best team in baseball, world freaking champions, and you still whine like babies. Makes me sick. You are not a real Yankee fan! Go root for the Mets.

Well having hit the age wall a while back, and had shoulder/wrist issues, I can tell you that something nagging can mess up your swing and take your power way. You can compensate — cheat on your swing, but end up as Robten notes from Fangraphs committing too early and flailing at pitches.

Winn didn’t hit a homer after April (both were batting LH btw). Most of his decline was from the left side, indicating some ailment — left shoulder? right wrist? — was plaguing him.

LD% FB% up GB% down with no power sounds to me like he was just slapping at the ball instead of driving through (and rolling the wrists).

He just was not whipping through the zone as in past years, especially from the left side and especially post all star break, not pulling the ball. Let’s hope he healed in the off season, and that the Yanks can help keep whatever is barking at bay (reaching for the advil myself…).

Getting out of AT+T park will be good for him.
