Elephant Rumblings: A’s Fire Pitching Coach Scott Emerson
Welcome to Tuesday A’s fans! It’s All-Star Game Day! But before we get to the game, the Athletics made a move yesterday afternoon, letting go of pitching coach Scott Emerson and promoting bullpen coach Dan Hubbs to take over for the rest of the year: The move couldn’t come soon enough. The team is currently […]
Athletics Fire Pitching Coach Scott Emerson
The Athletics announced that pitching coach Scott Emerson has been relieved of his duties. Bullpen coach Dan Hubbs will take over on an interim basis for the remainder of the campaign. Emerson got his gig in June of 2017. He was the club’s bullpen coach prior to that but he got a new title when […]
A’s Add Next Wave of Prospects in 2026 Draft
This past weekend, the Athletics added 21 players to the organization through the 20-round MLB Draft, which kicked off this week’s All-Star festivities in Philadelphia. Of the A’s 21 selections, 11 were pitchers, and all but two played college baseball. The majority of MLB teams drafted high school players in the first few rounds and […]
Home Run Derby Thread
No A’s game today but we still got something fun to watch tonight. It’s Derby time as eight of the best sluggers in the sport will attempt to win the title this year. No Athletic in this one but it’s still always fun to watch these guys and they usually put on a show. This […]
New York Yankees Proposed Trade for Athletics’ Jonah Heim Revealed
Jonah Heim could be the perfect trade candidate for the New York Yankees to acquire at the MLB trade deadline. A recent report by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale suggested that both Yankees’ catcher trade targets (Ryan Jeffers, Hunter Goodman) are likely to stay put this summer. Goodman makes sense because he’s a franchise star in […] The post New York Yankees Proposed Trade for Athletics’ Jonah Heim Revealed appeared first on HEAVY .
Happy Birthday Bill Caudill
Bill Caudill celebrates his 70th birthday today. For those unfamiliar, Caudill was the Blue Jays’ answer to B.J. Ryan back in the 1980s. He broke into the majors with the Cubs, then found his stride as one of baseball’s elite closers in Seattle, before moving to Oakland, where he racked up 36 saves in a […]
Elephant Rumblings: Break Time
Welcome to another week A’s fans! The first half is officially in the books. The Athletics’ season began well enough as the club was in first place as late as May. Unfortunately a rough June and July has seemingly sunk the A’s playoff hopes as the club’s nine-game losing streak has dropped them to 41-55, […]

Injuries Providing Cover For Some Inconvenient Truths
“It’s the injuries” is a common excuse for why the A’s, once 38-38 and in the thick of a weak AL West race, have cratered, fallen, and can’t get up. “Wait until we’re back at full strength” is a commonly heard game plan for letting a season in which 2 games over .500 gets you […]
A’s Drop 9th Straight, Lose To White Sox 9-1
The A’s couldn’t manage to escape the South Side with a win, getting swept by the White Sox 9-1 to wrap up the first half. Righty J.T. Ginn was off today. After the A’s gave him a quick lead in the first he coughed that right back, allowing six runs in the first inning to […]
White Sox end first half in emphatic fashion with 9-1 win, series sweep over A’s
The first half is officially in the books, and the Chicago White Sox are in first place. Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery homered, Miguel Vargas and Kyle Teel had multi-hit performances, and Noah Schultz threw five mostly stress-free innings as the Good Guys picked up their 50th win of the season, 9-1 over the Sacramento […]
White Sox 9, Athletics 1: 50 wins at the break
Noah Schultz opened the game by giving up a single, erasing it with a double play, and then giving up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers before he could record the third out. Still, Schultz didn't walk anybody, and he threw 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes. If a guy who came into the game with 29 walks in 48 major league innings wanted positive reinforcement for staying in the strike zone, the rest of the game rewarded him for it.

Athletics Claim Donovan Walton
The Athletics claimed infielder Donovan Walton off waivers from the Angels, as announced by both teams. The A’s already had an open 40-man roster spot, so no further transaction was required. Walton has hit .319/.354/.505 over 97 plate appearances for Los Angeles this season, while seeing time in the field as part of the Angels’ […]
First pitch: White Sox vs. Athletics
With a victory, the White Sox will enter the All-Star break in first place in their division, for the first time since 2021. They could accomplish that without a victory too, but it would require help from the Marlins against the Guardians, and a win would also give the Sox their sixth sweep of the season. It will surprise no one present here that all five of their prior sweeps came at home as well. The post First pitch: White Sox vs. Athletics appeared first on Sox Machine .
Game Thread: Athletics (41-54) at White Sox (49-45)
For all of the surprises we’ve gotten out of a wonderful first half of play from the 2026 White Sox, it feels perhaps a little fitting that they’ll head into the break by addressing (or at least attempting to address) one of the premier uncertainties that will have a heavy hand and determining whether we […]
Open Thread: 2026 Futures Game
The Futures Game starts at noon EDT. The only Mets’ prospect in the game is Ryan Clifford, acquired in exchange for Justin Verlander at the 2023 trade deadline. Clifford is a reserve for the National League squad. Chat about all the action here! American League lineup Leo De Vries – SS (Athletics) Franklin Arias – […]
MLB Draft Day 2 Thread
The A’s came away with a healthy haul yesterday with the first four+ rounds of the MLB Draft. Now they’ll finish things off this afternoon with the final 16 rounds of this draft and hopefully find some studs and stars in these later rounds. Let’s begin, shall we?
Game #96: A’s at White Sox Game Thread
The first half wraps up today! And not a moment too soon. The Athletics have dropped eight straight, which has cratered their playoff hopes. It would be nice to end the first half with a win and have some positive mojo heading into the break. The starter today will be J.T. Ginn. He’ll be looking […]
Mason Edwards Selected 47th Overall by Athletics in MLB Draft
PHILADELPHIA -- After an all-time great season on the mound for USC baseball, left-handed pitcher Mason Edwards was selected 47th overall by the Las Vegas Athletics in the second round of the 2026 MLB Draft on Saturday.
A’s Select Jacob Dudan With 83rd Pick, Roman Martin With 111th Pick
The Athletics rounded out the first day of the 2026 MLB draft by selecting right-handed pitcher Jacob Dudan with the 83rd overall pick and shortstop Roman Martin with #111: First, Dudan is a long-term investment since he’s recently undergone Tommy John surgery and won’t pitch this year. That said, the right-hander, who moved to the […]
