Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm had a rough performance in Monday’s 5-4 win over the New York Mets, committing three errors in the first three innings.
After two throwing errors in the first two innings, Bohm made a routine play on a ground ball by Starling Marte to record the second out of the second inning, much to the delight of Phillies fans, who sarcastically cheered and gave him a standing ovation.
After the play and jeers from the fans, Bohm was caught by a camera saying “I f–king hate this place” in reference to Philadelphia.
Speaking with reporters after the game, Bohm confirmed what he said and apologized to Phillies fans for the comment.
“Look, emotions got the best of me. I said it. Do I mean it? No,” Bohm said. “It’s a frustrating night for me, obviously. … These people, these fans, they just want to win. … I don’t mean that.”
