对于早就习惯球队胜利的洋基球迷来说，2010年代洋基的表现实在令人失望。
Steven Tydings在本休赛季开启名叫"Missing Ring"的系列文章，他曾承诺要引领读者回
顾洋基2009年夺冠后至今发生的一切，但后来他有了新的工作只好离开viewsfrom314ft团
队。今天我就试着翻译他唯一写的一篇系列文，之后再用他的文章架构把他挖的坑填满。
Missing Rings: Reexamining the 2010 Postseason

This offseason, I'm doing deep dive into the Yankees's postseason runs since
the 2009 World Series and examine why the Bombers fell short for a title.
First up, the title defense of 2010.
这个休赛季，我将会回顾洋基2009年夺冠后所有的季后赛之旅，深入分析并且找
出洋基失败的原因。首先是2010年的冠军保卫战。
The Yankees didn’t fully reunite the band in 2010 as Brian Cashman and co.
said farewell to Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Melky Cabrera, among others.
Brought in to fortify the World Series defense were Marcus Thames, Nick
Johnson, Chan Ho Park and Javier Vazquez, the latter of whom came over with
Boone Logan to extend the rotation and bullpen.
2009年休赛季Cashman与其他制服组成员没有留下所有的冠军班底，选择不跟夺
冠大功臣松井秀喜与Johnny Damon续约，并且交易走Melky Cabrera。洋基签下Marcus
Thames、Nick Johnson与朴赞浩，交易Cabrera换来Javier Vazquez与Boone Logan补强
后段轮值与牛棚，Chase for #28的旅程开始了。
The big acquisition of the offseason was Curtis Granderson. The 29-year-old
center fielder cost the Yankees Austin Jackson, Phil Coke and Ian Kennedy,
but he had the potential to add left-handed pop to the top or bottom of their
order.
那个休赛季最大的补强是交易来Curtis Granderson，洋基送出全美排名27的外
野新秀Austin Jackson、年轻先发Ian Kennedy，还有左牛Phil Coke才换到这位29岁的明
星中外野手。左打的他将受惠于洋基球场较短的右外野，大幅增强后段棒次的威胁性。
That eclectic group complemented a strong core. Through in their 30s, Derek
Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira formed the heart of a powerful
lineup, while Robinson Cano, Jorge Posada and Nick Swisher were no slouches.
On the pitching side, CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes, Andy Pettitte and A.J.
Burnett returned from the 2009 squad in front of the ageless Mariano Rivera.
2010洋基队的阵容星度不减，Jeter、Arod、Teixeira是钻石打线的核心，Cano
、Posada、Swisher也都不是好惹的。投手方面，Sabathia、Pettitte、Burnett、Hughes
组成的前四号先发实力坚强，牛棚里也有不老传奇Mariano Rivera镇守。
2010 Regular Season
What Went Right
Robinson Cano turned into a superstar. The 27-year-old was the Yankees
second-youngest everyday player and had hit .320 in 2009, but he put together
both outstanding hitting and glovework to finish third in MVP voting.
Nick Swisher, meanwhile, gelled in his second season with the Bombers and
became an All-Star, turning into a better all-around player. Those
contributions complemented a rotation with three All-Stars — Sabathia,
Hughes and Pettitte — to give New York perhaps the AL’s best top-3 on their
staff.
At the deadline, the Yankees made a key addition with Kerry Wood, who would
then allow just two runs over 26 innings over the final two months of the
season.
该季亮点
Robinson Cano发展成了超级巨星，27岁的Cano是洋基阵容里第二年轻的（仅次
于Hughes的23岁），他在09夺冠赛季就缴出.320的高打击率，但他2010年的成绩大幅进步
，在攻防两端都缴出了卓越的贡献。Cano在当季MVP票选里荣登第三名。
Nick Swisher不只延续他前一年的好表现，打击与右外野防守都有所进步，也让
他首度选明星赛；Sabathia、Pettitte与Hughes或许是美联最佳的前三号先发。
季中交易大限换来的老将Kerry Wood来到洋基后主投26局只失掉2分，大大增强
了洋基牛棚的稳定度。

What Went Wrong
The bullpen outside of Rivera and Wood wasn’t fantastic. Both Logan and
David Robertson were good, but D-Rob’s leap to fireman came a year later
while Joba Chamberlain scuffled in his bullpen return.
At age-36, Jeter declined sharply from his resurgent 2009, while A-Rod missed
brief time with a calf strain and was good, not outstanding. Granderson could
not hit lefties until August.
Meanwhile, the back-end of the rotation wasn’t cutting it with Burnett and
Vazquez not panning out. The Yankees could have shored up that issue, but …
令人失望的球员
除了 Rivera 跟 Wood之外，其他救援投手都不太稳定，Logan 跟Robertson的表现
不差，但Robertson直到2011年才真的breakout，补不了Joba Chamberlain在2010年连连
放火烧出的大洞。
36岁的Jeter无法复制2009年的回春表现，打击成绩大幅下滑（WRC+从130掉到93
，WAR从6.7掉到2.3）；Arod 因为小腿拉伤缺赛一段时间，他的表现还不错但也可以看到
退化的迹象；Granderson在8月之前被左投克得一点办法都没有。
后段先发是另一个不稳定的因子，Burnett在三振率无法维持高档的情况下ERA爆
增，Vazquez则是烂到了极点...洋基原本有机会完美解决这个问题的，但...
The Inflection Point: The Cliff Lee trade
On July 9, the Yankees were reported to be nearing a deal for Mariners ace
Cliff Lee after Seattle had fallen out of contention. The deal apparently was
set to include top prospect Jesus Montero as well as infielder David Adams
and pitcher Zach McAllister.
It all went wrong. Reports said the M’s raised issues with Adams’ medicals
and requested either Eduardo Nunez or Ivan Nova in his place. The Yankees
then countered with Adam Warren, but Seattle wouldn’t accept the deal.
At the same time, the Mariners had re-opened (or perhaps never stopped)
negotiations with the Rangers, who had suddenly become willing to part with
their top prospect, Justin Smoak. That swung the deal as Lee went to Texas as
part of a six-player deal.
In retrospect, it’s obvious the Yankees would have been wise to deal Nova,
Nunez or any of the players in that deal for Lee, but that might not have
been on the table. The Mariners may have simply been playing the Yankees off
Texas to get Smoak and never actually planned on accepting the initial deal.
转捩点：胎死腹中的 Cliff Lee 交易案
2010/7/9有报导指出，水手与洋基接近完成Cliff Lee的交易案，洋基会把头号
新秀Jesus Montero、二垒新秀David Adams、投手新秀Zach McAllister送到西雅图。
但剧情急转直下，水手队对Adams的体检报告提出质疑，随后向洋基索取Eduardo
Nunez或Ivan Nova，洋基想用Adam Warren替代，但水手队拒绝了这个方案。
于是水手队重新开始跟游骑兵协商，游骑兵突然愿意把Justin Smoak加入包裹中
，最后双方完成了一个牵涉6个球员的超大型交易案。
无庸置疑的，以现在的角度来看洋基应该要把Nova或Nunez放在交易桌上，但我
们不知道水手队是不是真的想跟洋基谈，说不定他们早就决定要把Lee送去游骑兵，只是
故意流出跟洋基队的协商内容逼游骑兵交出Smoak。
The Obligatory Twins Sweep
Even without Lee, the Yankees cruised to a postseason berth. They ceded the
division to the Rays and were rewarded with a matchup against an
overachieving Twins squad, who had homefield advantage in the series.
I'd do a“What went right” and “What went wrong” for this, but it all
went so well. The Bombers trailed in the first two games at Target Field but
won on the backs of heroics from Granderson, Teixeira, Posada and Lance
Berkman, another deadline acquisition.
Hughes then got the start back at Yankee Stadium for Game 3 and picked up the
win in his first postseason start. The Yankees didn’t have to push anyone
and avoided going to Sabathia on short rest in Game 4. Meanwhile, the Rangers
needed five games to beat the Rays and needed Lee in Game 5, an
all-too-familiar scenario to the present day.

即使没有拿到Lee，洋基还是轻松获得季后赛资格，虽然以一场胜差落后光芒成
为外卡，但ALDS遇到的双城注定拿洋基没辙，即使他们有主场优势还是束手无策。
原本我想用"What went right"跟“What went wrong”来分析这个系列赛，但洋
基的表现实在是无懈可击。即便Game 1 跟 Game 2都在对方主场落后，但Granderson、
Teixeira、Posada与季中交易来的Lance Berkman轮流跳出来当英雄，洋基都顺利把比分
反超，取得了2-0的绝对优势。
主场的第三战由初次在季后赛先发的Hughes主投，七局无失分的他帮助洋基再一
次横扫了好朋友双城，洋基也就不需要担心第四战是否要由休三天的CC主投。另一方面，
游骑兵花了五场比赛才击败光芒晋级，而且Lee已经在第五战登板了，一切都跟2019年好
像
...
Falling Behind in the ALCS
In terms of which games the Yankees won, the 2010 ALCS looked exactly like
the 2019 series. The Yankees took Game 1 on the road, Game 5 at home and
nothing else en route to defeat.
Game 1, however, was a wild ride. The Rangers had homefield advantage despite
an inferior record in the regular season, but Sabathia struggled and the
Yankees found themselves in a 5-0 hole. Dustin Moseley (remember him?) kept
the Yankees in the game with two scoreless frames with Cano hitting a solo
shot. From there, the first seven Yankee batters reached to start the eighth
inning as the Bombers scored five and overtook Texas.
The series appeared all set for a Yankees victory and potentially a rematch
of 2009 with the Phillies hosting the NLCS with the Giants. However, New York
’s lack of depth in their rotation as well as the non-trade for Lee struck
hard and ultimately swung the series.
The Yankees flipped Hughes and Pettitte in their rotation and Hughes was
battered in Game 2. It was revealed after the fact that Petitte, who missed a
swath of the second half with a groin injury, was dealing with hamstring and
back issues and needed the 11 days between ALDS Game 2 and ALCS Game 3 to
start.
While Pettitte made just one mistake in Game 3 — a first-inning two-run
homer to Josh Hamilton — Lee made none and fired eight scoreless frames to
give Texas the series lead.
回顾当年的美联冠军战，洋基获胜的场次跟2019 ALCS完全相同，洋基在客场拔
得头筹取得1-0优势，连输三场后才在主场扳回一城。
虽然游骑兵当年只拿下90胜，不如洋基的95胜，但因为他们是美西冠军所以有主
场优势，第一战就在阿灵顿举行。Sabathia在比赛刚开始就遇到乱流频频失分，洋基很快
就0-5落后。接替CC上场的Dustin Moseley缴出2局无失分的好投，Cano 打出阳春砲吹响
反攻号角，八局上半洋基连续七人上垒连得五分，完成大逆转获胜。

第一战获胜后洋基士气大振，大家都很乐观的觉得洋基会顺利过关，与前一年的
WS对手费城人重新碰头。但是先发轮值人手不足的隐忧最终还是爆发，Cliff Lee的交易
对于这个系列赛的结果产生了决定性的影响。
洋基调换了Pettitte跟Hughes的上场顺序，结果Hughes在第二战被凶猛的条子打
线打爆。我们后来才知道Pettitte受到背部跟腿筋的伤势困扰，洋基只好让他多休息两天
。
Pettittte 休11天才在第三战登板，主投七局只在第一局被Josh Hamilton打了
一支两分砲。Lee主投8局投出13K，完全封锁洋基的钻石打线。

AJ Burnett’s Big Mistake
Game 4 started out well in a duel between Burnett and Tommy Hunter as the
latter lasted just 10 outs and gave up three runs. The Yankees’ first run
came via a controversial home run as a Cano blast to right field was perhaps
interfered with by fans.
Nothing was called and the best gif in recent Yankees history was born.
https://giphy.com/gifs/fans-yankees-14f35MyLF5UURq
The Yankee bros. They summed up a fanbase, one that cared not for lackluster
franchises such as the Rangers and had the bird prepared for all challengers.
A salute to said bros, who were basically the Laker bros but across the
continent.
Stringing together a couple runs, the Yankees led going into the fifth
inning. Burnett allowed three men to reach base but persevered unscathed. The
Yankees, meanwhile, got their first two men on for Tex and A-Rod, just for a
groundout and double play to foil a rally.
And then the fateful sixth inning. Joe Girardi stuck with Burnett with a thin
bullpen. The right-hander put a man on before getting two outs. He
intentionally walked David Murphy to bring up Bengie Molina. On the first
pitch, Molina hit a series-changing homer to put Texas up for good.
https://youtu.be/6dA-GjKhiWM
The bullpen faltered later, which might absolve Girardi and AJ slightly in a
10-3 defeat. The now 3-1 deficit in the series was compounded by a severely
strained hamstring for Teixeira, knocking him out of the series.
G4是AJ Burnett跟Tommy Hunter两个人的对决，一开始的状况对洋基十分有利，
Hunter只投了3.1局就掉了三分退场。Cano在二局下半的阳春砲有些争议，从重播画面来
看这颗球被球迷伸手进场接走。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCHEbrmeBzY
而外野球迷当时的反应被制作成一张超有名的GIF，这群洋基球迷心里根本看不
上游骑兵这种弱队，跟美国另一边的湖人球迷一个样。
游骑兵下个半局把比分反超，但洋基很快的在Hunter手上得到两分，取回领先优
势，五局上半Burnett虽然让游骑兵形成满垒，但最终没有失掉任何分数。洋基在五局下
半
有机会扩大比分差距，Teixeira跟Arod接连上垒，但后段棒次无法延续攻势，以一个滚地
球出局和双杀结束攻势。
接下来就是众所皆知的六局上半，当时洋基并没有现在的铁牛棚，Girardi只能
把
Burnett继续留在场上。他开局就让一人上垒，接下来顺利解决两名打者。接下来他故意
保
送David Murphy面对攻击能力不强的捕手Bengie Molina。Molina把Burnett投出的第一球
击往右外野....这球一直飞，一直飞（我多么希望它飞出界），最后是在标竿内飞出场外
，游骑兵就以5:3反超。这一击打碎了所有洋基迷的希望，Jomboy还说他记忆最深刻的季
后赛比赛就是这场...
https://youtu.be/6dA-GjKhiWM
牛棚在比赛后段也爆炸了，某种程度上帮Girardi跟Burnett解套，最后洋基就以
3:10的巨大差距落败，系列赛陷入1:3的极大劣势。主砲Mark Teixeira也在跑垒时拉伤腿
筋，洋基晋级之路看起来更加艰险。

10/19/10: CG TEX @ NYY Game 4
The Final Loss
The Yankees rebounded a day later with a 7-2 win behind Sabathia and plenty
of offense, including three homers. Back in Texas, the Bombers turned to
Hughes with hopes of keeping them alive for a Game 7.
With the Yankees tying the game at one in the fifth inning, Hughes trotted
out and, like Burnett, got two outs and a man on before issuing an
intentional walk, this time to Hamilton. The final pitch for Hughes on the
evening went to Vlad Guerrero Sr., who lined a two-run double. Robertson came
in and promptly allowed a two-run homer to Nelson Cruz, just about ending the
series in a two-batter span.
第五战Sabathia找回了王牌的架势，钻石打线也终于回神击出了三支全垒打，最
后洋基就以7:2扳回一城，将赛局打回阿灵顿。洋基只能期望年轻的Hughes能把赛局推向
第七战。
第六战的Hughes前四局只掉一分，洋基也在五局上半追平比数。可是跟第四战的
悲剧一样，五局下半游骑兵两人出局一在垒，Hughes选择保送当年的MVP Hamilton。下一
棒的Vlad Guerrero Sr. 随后打出了两分打点二垒安打。接替Hughes上场的Robertson也
没办法止血，Nelson Cruz的两分全垒打击沉了洋基队最后的希望。

Afterward
The Lee deal truly swung everything and might have hung over the Bombers for
a couple seasons. Not only were they unable to repeat without the veteran
southpaw, they then couldn’t reel him in during free agency. His wife said
she was harassed at Yankee Stadium during the postseason, and he ultimately
chose to accept a smaller offer to return to Philadelphia. (Reports also put
the Rangers’ offer above the Yankees’ deal, but the mystery team Phillies
made that moot.)
The Yankees were one or two pitchers short of a title. With another reliever
or just a quicker hook, they could have afforded to take out Burnett earlier
in Game 4, or they could have held tight in Game 6. Another starter would
have bumped Burnett entirely, even if it wasn’t Lee joining the Bombers.
Compounding the issue was the Yankees' inability to get a big hit against
Colby Lewis in Games 2 and 6. The journeyman put 16 men on over 13 2/3
innings but allowed just three to score, earning two victories over Hughes.
Perhaps with the games in the Bronx, the Yankees could have poked across more
runs, but the wild card team can’t claim homefield there.
Cliff Lee的交易案摧毁了洋基的夺冠计画，而且2010年季后赛时Lee的妻子在洋
基球场被球迷辱骂，Lee从此恨透了洋基，最后拒绝洋基开的较高价码加盟费城人。（有
报导指出游骑兵开出的合约价码比洋基更高，但费城人成为黑马球队胜出。）
即使没换到Lee，如果洋基有多一个稳定的先发投手，或许他们就卫冕成功了。
又或者他们多补进一个稳定的后援投手，第四战时就可以早点换下Burnett，第六战时也不
会让比分瞬间被拉开。另一个中前段先发就可以直接替换掉赛季表现糟糕的Burnett。
另一个失败原因是第二战与第六战时对阵Colby Lewis，他两场比赛合计投了
13.2局。有16个洋基打者在他手上上垒，但只有三人跑回本垒得分。打线也在第四战错失
了太多把比分拉开的机会。
谜之音：感觉洋基每次被淘汰的原因都是先发不够强还有缺少关键安打...
