No one could say much to Carlos Rodon after the frustrated pitcher inadvertently hit his teammate with a baseball bat during the fifth inning when he kicked it in the dugout of the San Francisco Giants' 7-3 loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks — he was already plenty unhappy with himself after the game. 

Rodon had let the frustrations of what would be the Giant's sixth straight loss get to him when he slammed his glove into the dugout bench in the second inning after giving up a two-run homer, but later in the fifth it was more than the equipment that caught his wrath. 

"Came in, kicked a bat — unacceptable action," he said in the dugout after hitting shortstop Thairo Estrada in the leg. "Hit my teammate, probably the nicest teammate on our team, and just a selfish action that is unacceptable and cannot happen, and I take all the [responsibility], I take every amount of it. Just cannot happen. I just feel stupid, really stupid."

Rodon expressed his remorse for the outburst almost immediately as Estrada bent over to grab what appeared to be his shin. 

"You saw the difference in emotion instantly, and I just feel really dumb."

Rodon explained that his temper got the best of him — something that’s been building for some time.
