I Hate this place:
After an error-filled start to Monday night’s game against the Mets, Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm let his emotions get the best of him.
When his rage reached a boiling point, he made a scathing remark that drew the attention of the entire city of Philadelphia as well as the team’s support base.
After committing three errors in the first two innings, Bohm eventually got things back on track in the top of the second with an easy ground ball from New York’s Starling Marte.
What did say:
Bohm, 25, had three mistakes in the game but also took two walks and scored a crucial run in the Phillies’ 5–4 victory.
He then apologised for his snide remark, claiming that his emotions had gotten the best of him and that he had meant no disrespect to the franchise or the city of Philadelphia.
“I said it. Do I mean it? No,” Bohm said. “It’s a frustrating night for me, obviously. Made a few mistakes in the field. Look, these people, these fans, they just want to win. You heard it, we come back, they’re great. I’m just sorry to them. I don’t mean that.”

His second error in the second inning was on a routine grounder that he threw over first baseman Rhys Hoskins and into foul territory. Bohm’s third error was a throw that forced Hoskins off the bag.
Bohm’s struggles came at a time when he’s fighting for the third base job over rookie Bryson Stott. The 25-year-old Bohm was selected by the Phillies with the third pick in the 2018 draft out of Wichita State University and was considered one of the jewels of the Phillies farm system before his arrival in the big leagues.
Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm said he let his emotions get the best of him when he dropped an F-bomb in Philadelphia’s 5-4 comeback win against the Mets on Monday.
