I think he was referring to the situation he was in. "I don't think the kid was referring to the city of Philadelphia, the fans. "That's the bottom line. You hear that all the time and it got contagious there in that eighth inning." Emotions just got the best of me." "I think it's a kid that was frustrated," Girardi said. "You could feel it coming," Bohm said. I made a few mistakes in the field. The dugout went bonkers. "Emotions got the best of me," he said. Bohm could have made up a story and said the lip readers were wrong. He also made five successful plays in the field but the Citizens Bank Park crowd of 22,317 couldn't get past the errors.

He committed three errors and got jeered by Phillies fans but apologized for it.

But he did apologize after the game. Bohm appeared to say, “I hate this place” after Phillies fans gave him an extremely sarcastic cheer after he made a routine play at third for an out, something he failed to do when he committed three errors against the New York Mets. Monday ended with a win for the Philadelphia Phillies, but for the third baseman, he struggled in the field before cameras caught him saying something that went VERY viral thanks to lip-readers on Twitter.

But Bohm took ownership of the comments. But in 2021, the progress he made seemed to go out the window, as he fell from a Rookie of the Year finalist to a .247 hitter with issues in the field. When the issues came to the surface on Monday evening, Bohm may have revealed what he was really thinking about his job as a Philadelphia Phillie.

The Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the New York Mets, 5-4, on Monday at Citizens Bank Park.

I think he rushed the throw and it led to an error, and it kind of led to a couple more. I think he was referring to the situation he was in. “I look at the first error, which I think led to the next couple. That just shows you that he’s maturing and he’s doing what he’s supposed to do.” “I don’t think that kid was referring to, you know, the city of Philadelphia, the fans. His second error was in the second, a routine grounder that he threw over first baseman Rhys Hoskins and into foul territory.

You're not the first, Alec Bohm, won't be the last (Deadspin)

Alec Bohm is not the first to get fed up with Philadelphia fans. He's probably not even the first to do so by the fourth game of any baseball season.

He’s probably the latest in a very long line of Phillies who wanted to take a flamethrower to the home stadium at times. Bohm certainly had a clanger, and because Phillies fans always feel an urge to live up to the reputation established by the generations of fans before them, they’re the quickest in the league to boo anyone. Bohm almost certainly won’t be the only Phillie to feel that way this season. Bohm comes after that, with the glow of being a 3rd-overall pick just four years ago. He’s probably not even the first to do so by the fourth game of any baseball season. Alec Bohm is not the first to get fed up with Philadelphia fans.

Bohm’s third error was a throw that forced Hoskins off the bag. His first occurred when he charged a ball that bounced off Ranger Suarez’s glove and threw wildly to right field. Phillies manager Joe Girardi said, “I think it’s a kid that was frustrated. I think he was referring to the situation he was in. I’ve had passed balls to lose a game. The taunting came after he committed two throwing errors.

“All they want is transparency”: Alec Bohm on the standing ovation he received in the Phillies' 2-0 loss to the Mets · Wheeler bounces back · Reliever Sánchez ...

It wasn’t perfect, or close to perfect, which we’ve become accustomed to getting from Wheeler. But how he responded to that imperfection was the highlight of his night. Sánchez, 25, filled in for Wheeler in the fifth inning and went 2⅓ innings, allowing no hits, no earned runs, one walk and striking out three. Before Monday night’s five-run offensive explosion in the eighth inning, the Phillies had only scored one run since Saturday. The bats didn’t warm up much after that; they tallied only five hits and no runs on Tuesday night. By the end of the second inning, he was at 46 pitches. “It was my first time really in a game situation with guys on and stuff like that, so I was just rushing. He struck out Robinson Canó to end the first inning, and over the next 3⅔ innings, proceeded to strike out two more batters, while allowing no walks and two hits. Francisco Lindor grounded out, then Wheeler hit Pete Alonso — also with his sinker — and walked Eduardo Escobar. By the end of those five at-bats, he was at 24 pitches. Those games hadn’t gone particularly well; the rookie allowed seven earned runs, 16 hits and seven walks over that span. The fans rewarded his vulnerability Tuesday night with a gesture of their own. Television viewers could read his lips, and Bohm had to answer for it after the game. Next was Starling Marte, who Wheeler hit with his sinker. “Look, emotions got the best of me,” he said on Monday. “I said it.

Hittin' Season #549: A huge comeback & the Ballad of Alec Bohm (The Good Phight)

Just another typical Phillies vs. Mets baseball game. Last night the Phils did something they hadn't done in a few years.

Schwarber actually recorded the only out of the 9th when he hauled in a lead-off fly out, and Castellanos gunned down Rhys Hoskins at the plate the inning before. A third baseman saying he hates the city he plays in after receiving Bronx cheers. Three errors in the first three innings. ... I don't mean that." Do I mean it? Said third baseman owns up to his frustration moment and wins back the love of a fanbase who is more than willing to listen to people say they hate them.

Alec Bohm is a trade target to watch for the Mariners (Lookout Landing)

Stop us if this seems familiar: a talented Phillies prospect has struggled defensively and seems like a good change-of-scenery candidate.

Also, J.P. was picked in 2013 out of high school, spending four years grinding his way up through the Phillies’ system, plus another two where he flirted with major-league time, collecting barely over 200 plate appearances before being traded to Seattle. In contrast, Bohm graduated through the Phillies’ system much more quickly, spending just a year and a half in the Phillies’ system before the pandemic forced their hand with a promotion. It’s also worth noting that Bohm’s heartfelt apology last night, along with the strong offensive performance in what was ultimately a win, might have bought him a stay of execution among the Philly faithful; perhaps the Mariners are best off just waiting for a less ideal set of circumstances, and pouncing then. However, Bohm doesn’t have to be a great defender at third to return value; with his bat, all he has to do is be passable. But even a DH can’t cover up the clear flaws for Philadelphia defensively; their outfield is three slugging statues in Harper, Schwarber, and Castellanos, and the infield is similarly lead-footed. Yet in my looks, Bohm was as relaxed and athletic at the hot corner as he was at the dish, a team leader on the field and in the dugout; he looked every bit a star in the making. The ball bounces off pitcher Ranger Suárez’s leg, and Bohm tries to make a hero play out of it, instead of just eating the ball like he probably should have, and winds up airmailing the throw over the first baseman. Also, sorry, a better defensive 1B than Rhys Hoskins hauls that in and tags the runner out. Again, not a failure of athleticism; Bohm has plenty of arm strength. To his credit, Bohm acknowledged the comment and apologized for it after the game, rather than claiming he didn’t say it, which earned him respect among Phillies fans, who dislike someone saying something derogatory about them but dislike weasels even more. - Error the First: This is just a flat-out weird play. His barrel rate dropped to below league-average, and he had one of the worst marks for wOBA (weighted on-base average) in the league—bottom 8%. He was also worth -2 OAA (outs above average) after grading as a fairly neutral defender in 2020, giving those who have long doubted his defensive abilities something concrete to point to. That led Bohm to make a comment to fellow infielder Didi Gregorius, which was picked up on camera:

Alec Bohm's all right (PhillyVoice.com)

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm could've folded after any of his three throwing errors against the Mets on Monday night.

"Look, emotions got the best of me and I said it," Bohm explained. Granted, it's a small sample size, but Bohm is batting a 1.000 to start the year. But I think he's growing up." Want to be loved in this city as a baseball player? The progress he's made offensively, he was a big part of our offense tonight, so I think he's growing up a little bit. ... I don't mean that." The 25-year old third baseman, who entered just his second full season as a regular major leaguer, has had about as rough an introduction to the show as anyone. Do I mean it? He didn't. Instead, Bohm doubled in the fifth and drew two walks, with the second becoming the starting point for a five-run rally in the eighth. He went first to third on Johan Camargo's single in the next at-bat, then scored on a Kyle Schwarber groundout to get the Phillies' comeback win over the Mets going. "You know what? "Do I mean it?

Bohm’s errors, and the crowd’s response to them, and his response to their response, all threatened to snowball into something ugly. I think he was referring to the situation he was in. The win was still at least partially overshadowed, however, by Bohm’s struggles and visible frustration in the first third, which echoed the defensive issues that played a role in his getting sent down to the minors last year. A lot of pressure is riding on Bohm at the beginning of this season. Alec Bohm had a rough start to his night at third base for the Phillies on Monday. In the game’s first three innings, as the Mets jumped out to an early lead in Philadelphia, Bohm made a trio of errors with his right arm. After working the second of those free passes, he eventually came around to score the first in the five-run comeback eighth inning that ultimately gave the Phillies the 5-4 victory.

And imagine if one day Bohm simply refused to throw the ball to first, how would his narrative be different? The Phillies only option now is to trade Alec Bohm. Imagine if Ben Simmons had worked as interminably as Bohm to improve his shooting, how would the narrative around him be different? The Phillies don't owe him that switch—and it will never happen in Philadelphia barring injury—but Bohm deserves it. But he will never succeed with the Phillies, the team simply isn't built to cater to his skill set. Eagle-eyed viewers and lip readers will catch him saying, "I can't f*cking hit," as he walks back to the dugout.
