Phillies 3B Alec Bohm Apologizes for ‘I Hate This Place’ Comment
Phillie's third baseman Alec Bohm let his emotions get the better of him after an error-filled start to Monday night’s game against the Mets.
When his frustration level reached its peak, he made a rather pointed comment that roped in the city of Philadelphia and the team’s fanbase.
After making three errors in the first two innings of the game, Bohm finally righted the ship on a routine ground ball from New York’s Starling Marte in the top of the second.
He comfortably threw over to first base to record the second out of the inning and was met with a somewhat sarcastic standing ovation from the Phillies’ faithful.
Cameras flashed to Bohm following the play and showed him mouthing some choice words about the response from the crowd.
Bohm, 25, finished the game with three errors but drew two walks and scored an important run in the Phillies’ 5–4 win.
Afterward, he apologized for his pointed remark, saying that his emotions got the best of him and that he did not mean any offense to the franchise or the city of Philadelphia.
