## Resource

The A’s are making a bold move on the mound, firing pitching coach Scott Emerson after a brutal first half and promoting bullpen coach Dan Hubbs to interim role, while also bringing in veteran reliever Javy Guerra. With a pitching staff allowing nearly six runs per game and a nine-game losing streak, the team’s record sits at 41-55 as they head into the second half. Compounding the woes, key players like Nick Kurtz, Zack Gelof, and Brent Rooker are sidelined, and with the trade deadline looming, the A’s are hoping this coaching shakeup can turn things around before it’s too late.
