ANtics Episode 3.06: A Rite of Passage
Depending on the stage of a player's career, Spring Training can be present wildly different goals, from hoping to reach the big leagues, to getting in shape, learning a new club or even trying to make a comeback with your old team. From the record-breaking heat of Phoenix, some of the A's are profiled for their own objectives.

Predicting the fifth starter, the ninth hitter, the utility man, the batboys, the opening day umpires... etc.
Awesome ANtics as always.

who's arthur hugging?
that is a great pic. i'm glad he's got some friends on the a's. i actually liked rhodes from afar on the M's and like billy, thought he would have made a great transition to closer. happy we got two bona fide closers (maybe more with mcbeth) that can do it with control and location.

I believe it's Chavez.
It's a funny picture of Chavez though.

106.9?
Sorry for asking a stupid question but what's the significance of that station? Is it carrying the A's games this season? Last time I heard it was full of crappy talk shows.

Yes - A's will broadcast games on KIFR (106.9fm)

Are they still "free fm"
Or did they change format already?
