The Mets weren’t the only ones who had a complete meltdown in Philadelphia Monday night.
Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm made three throwing errors in three innings, helping the Mets jump out to a 4-0 lead that they eventually blew.
Between his second and third errors — the Mets simply could not stop hitting the ball at him, giving him a whopping seven chances by the third inning — Bohm made a clean play. The notoriously patient Philly fans gave him a sarcastic Bronx cheer, and Bohm was caught on camera saying “I f—ing hate this place.”
Bohm, a much-hyped prospect who has had a disastrous major league career so far, was straight up after the game.
“Emotions got the best of me. I said it,” he admitted.
“And do I mean it? No. It’s a frustrating night for me. Obviously I made a few mistakes in the field. But these fans just want to win. You heard it, when we came back. They’re great. I’m sorry to them. I don’t mean that.”
And with that, all was forgotten.
