Alec Bohm makes NSFW comment after nightmare errors vs Mets

Alec Bohm made NSFW comment on camera during nightmare Phillies vs Mets game

It’s only the Philadelphia Phillies‘ fourth game of the season, but Alec Bohm’s frustrations are already boiling over.

After making three errors in seven chances in three innings, Bohm was caught on camera clearly seen saying, “I ****ing hate…” either ‘this place,’ meaning Citizens Bank Park, or ‘these plays,’ referring to his defensive struggles and the crowd’s reaction.

Multiple people caught the moment on Twitter:

I watched it about 30 times, and much like that viral dress that some people said was white and gold and others said was black and blue, I can’t definitively say which Bohm said. I’d lean towards ‘place,’ but regardless, the ‘bleeping hate’ part was crystal clear:

Bohm doesn’t seem happy.

Seeing as his defensive struggles are a continuation of his poor 2021 performance, it’s easy to see why. Factor in that Bryson Stott is making a case to take his job, and Bohm’s stress level is probably sky-high. But swearing on camera is going to make a bad situation much worse, especially in front of Phillies fans.

It’s so early in the season, but if Bohm is truly this miserable, then time isn’t going to heal these wounds. Some players just can’t handle the scrutiny of an intense fanbase, and Bohm could very well be one of them. If that’s the case, the Phillies might want to explore trading him, but it’s still early enough in the season to say that would be hasty.

On the other hand, he ripped a two-out double a few innings later and went 2-for-2 in his first game over the weekend. If he can keep hitting, maybe his confidence and mood will improve.

Update: Alec Bohm confirms he said “I F***ing hate this place” on camera

After the Phillies came back to beat the Mets 5-4, Bohm confirmed that he said “place,” not “plays” during the game:

"“Emotions got the best of me. I said it. Do I mean it? No.”"

At least he owned up to it, because it would be way worse if he hadn’t.

Still, it’s hard to believe Bohm didn’t mean it even a little bit; those emotions don’t just pop up out of nowhere. After what he’s been through on the field over the last year, it’s understandable.

Don’t expect his admission to make Phillies fans quick to forgive, though.
