Nationals legend Stephen Strasburg has announced his retirement from the game of baseball. Jake and Jordan break down what Strasburg means to the city of Washington, and how tough it will be to say goodbye. Then, with the news that Mike Trout is back on the IL, and Shohei is indeed done pitching for the year, the guys perform a dramatic reading of Perry Minasian’s somber press-conference. Finally, the guys preview Mookie Betts’ return to Boston, before touching on American Idol, getting old, and 3-HR games in this edition of The Good, the Bad, and the Uggla.
