Last night–Tuesday, August 24th–was the best episode of The Worst Fans in Baseball podcast to date. Hands down, the funniest, most insightful recording. The episode featured MiLB guru and man-who-cums-too-fast Kyle Reis, who answered questions ranging from “Fuck, marry, kill Cardinals prospects?” to “Fuck, marry, kill N’Sync members?”

The Boys and Kyle also talked about the Cardinals’ player development system, their areas of improvement (pitching), and what they’re knocking out of the park (hitting). He also spoke on  the living conditions for Cardinals’ minor leaguers now with the addition of organization-provided housing, as well as which prospects are on the up-and-up. 

Josh and Kyle also soyed over the talents of Brendan Donovan. Tom brought up his affinity for Tink Hence and Zack Thompson. The Boys also discussed Dakota Hudson’s role going forward; if he is better suited as a starter or reliever, and which young Cardinals arm could fill that rotational void.

But wait there’s more! The best part about all this is that Nik returned and is definitely not dead anymore! At least this week. Nik took time from recording two music albums to do this interview with Kyle, someone who also took time from work and passion to invest in our silly little podcast. Nik showed Italian solidarity with Andre Pallante. Kyle only confirmed that bias by saying how impressive he has been with the team this year, and that his contributions to the current and future success of this team cannot be understated. 

There was so much to these conversations than what’s been stated, it truly was a meeting of the minds, filled with wit and laughing and introspection. If experts listened to The Worst Fans they would surely agree that it deserves some kind of award and recognition!

But alas, all of that was cast into the ether, because Tom forgot to press record on the Zoom call. 

The weird career of Nick Dunn? Gone, because Tom didn’t press the record button.

Nik being routinely accused of being a Nazi–classic–cast into the void. Poof!

Kyle noticing that Tom’s cat was looming in the background like the ghost of a murdered debutante? Like it was never even real.

So no interview with Kyle Reis this week, but thankfully he will be back in the future. Tom really screwed the pooch this week.
