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.

He easily threw to first base for the second out of the inning, earning a sarcastic standing ovation from the Phillies’ fans.

Following the play, cameras flashed to Bohm, who was seen mouthing some harsh comments regarding the crowd’s reaction.

“I f***ing hate this place,” he said.

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.”

Does Alec Bohm actually “hate this place?”

Doesn’t sound like it.

In his postgame press conference, Phillies manager Joe Girardi defended Bohm, saying that the young third baseman was agitated by the scenario, not by the fans.

“I think it’s a kid that was frustrated,” Girardi said. “I don’t think that kid was referring to, you know, the city of Philadelphia, the fans. I think he was referring to the situation he was in. Put yourself in his shoes.”
