Because I suspect that they’d like to have some good starting pitching prospects…

Believe in Me who believes in You.
Personally, I think the team perked up
When they ripped Danny Haren to hell with five homers.
Sumbitches still lost that game—can you get over that shit?—but that had to be the perk-up game. Never looked back after that with the power numbers.
they showed glimpses all throughout the first two months.

Geren is an outstanding manager.

that being said, the Manager from “Major League” would probably do a much better job.

Ortiz is finished and on a huge contract.
Cust is in his prime and dirt cheap. I’d want compensation – though obviously we wouldn’t get what I just suggested then.
if we go on to win, which we prolly will,
we’ll be four games behind the angels who are, at this point, the real division leaders to me. I don’t trust the rangers for one second to hold onto this lead till even the all-star break. problem is the angels just comppleted their come back to a fully healthy and deadly rotation with the return of Kelvim Escobar. It’s going to be tough from here on out to gain games…..

Oh I think it works beautifully.
It would throw anyone with a conscience – obviously the whole film is about the wisdom of sending several men deep into occupied territory to save one, but for the Cpt of said group to demand the guy ‘earns’ the priviledge is just cruel.
maybe not.
thinking on that theme you laid there…it is meaningless that they would all lay down their lives for him. Even though he didn’t ask them to, he really should earn it.

I don't think he needed to be told by a guy he'd come to admire though.
It’d be much better for him to work it out himself. The way Cpt Hanks (I can’t remember what his name is in the film) puts it across to Pvt Ryan is a massive guilt trip – and as you’ve said he’s clearly bothered by it in later life.
Great film though – I thought it was overrated first time I saw it. Since then it’s really gone up in my estimation.
I thought the framing device was anvilicious and typical Spielbergian mawkery
The most effective part of the film is the opening D-Day sequence. The rest..meh.

Removing Cahill early makes no sense!
If Geren keeps taking starters who are pitching shutouts out so early in games, how will they ever gain the confidence and learn how to pitch into the 8th & 9th innings and even maybe pitch a complete game? It seems like kind of a self-fulfilling & self-defeating tactic by the manager.
I agree to a certain extent...
but if Cahill is on pace for 200 innings he’s clearly pitching more than they want him to. I actually like the move. It conserves them.
