Carlos Rodon’s now-infamous bat kick has turned out to be a perfect encapsulation of the Giants’ season: very dumb and ultimately pointless. It was also one of the most watchable, exciting things to happen to the Giants in days.
Had Rodon broken a toe or three and completely tanked his trade value, it would have been the ultimate chef’s kiss for what is rapidly turning into a lost year. There’s no easy way to say it: The Giants are a mess.
This isn’t the way they saw this season playing out, I would imagine.
