Philadelphia Phillies' Alec Bohm says emotions got best of him after errors, leading to pointed comment

Philadelphia might be easier for Alec to make up for errors in the field than it is in his mouth.

The three E-5s were nothing compared to what he dropped.

After his second error, cameras caught Bohm having some choice words.

He said he hated this place.

Maybe a rally he started with a leadoff walk soothed some of his hard feelings.

J.T. Realmuto hit a two-run home run in the eighth to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets.

Five runs in the eighth against two MetsRelievers was the difference in the game. It was 4-3 when Realmuto hit his first home run of the season. The game was tied at four when Hoskins ripped a double to left off Lugo, and Gregorius lined a single into the right-center gap.

Bohm made three errors at third base in the beginning of the game, a bad look as he tries to win the third base job.

"Emotions got the best of me, and did not mean any offense toward the franchise or Philadelphia," he said.

I said it. Do I mean it? It is a frustrating night for me. There were a few mistakes in the field. These people and their fans just want to win. They are great, you heard it, we come back. I apologize to them. I don't mean that.

In the first, Bohm made his first error when he charged a ball that shot off the starter's glove and threw it into right field. He threw a grounder over first baseman Hoskins and into foul territory in the second. In the third, Bohm pulled Hoskins off the bag with a wide throw.

The kid was not referring to the city of Philadelphia, according to the manager. I think he was talking about the situation he was in. Put yourself in his shoes.

The Mets did not score off the three errors.

Before the game, he said he started Bohm over Scott because of his success against Walker.

They are both going to play, and he has had success off of Walker. I think it is important that they both play.
