MILWAUKEE — Bryson Stott can admit the truth now. He put too much pressure on himself at the beginning of the season. Not only did he make the team out of spring training, but he was the Phillies’ opening-day third baseman. It was a lot for a rookie who had barely played at triple A.
It was telling, then, that Stott was the one to offer calming words last week to Nick Maton when the high-strung infielder got called up from the minors.
“I told Maton, ‘We’re just back in Scranton,’” Stott said. “We’ve all played together before. We’re just doing it here. It’s something we’ve all dreamed of.”
