A special moment for Jaymo as he has his first ever inter league at bat at home to the Chicago White Sox. Jaymo hit a lead off single and then advanced to 3rd from a steal and then error at second. Jaymo then made it home two at bats later. The Padres still lost but jaymo was feeling good after the game.
White Sox 6 San Diego 5
Here's a clip of Jaymo's 2nd inter-league game as he records a second hit.

I know. It was ridiculous. Worst thing though, it's hard being a catcher! You actually have to catch the ball... lol.Originally Posted by SmoothPancakes
Okay so the month of April is over. As of may 3rd, 2015 the Padres have played 30 games and have really struggled up to this point in the season.
NL West:
Dodgers 22-9
Diamondbacks 18-14 (4.5gb)
Rockies 16-15 (6gb)
Padres 11-19 (10.5gb)
Giants 12-21 (11gb)
At this point in the season, Jaymo has benefited from being in the NL as every-time a pitcher is pulled he either gets to pinch hit or pinch run. As a result Jaymo has been in most of the games this season.
Jaymo's stats:
26 games played (one two starts though)
33 AB
10 H
1 HR
3 RBI
.303 avg.
.294 OBP
.424 slg %
1.000 fld %
Finally Jaymo gets a start at 3rd base. Game two of the Brewers series in Milwaukee: a beautiful Tuesday may 5th. Chase Headley has stuck up the plate the last few weeks batting below .200 (.189 to be exact)
Jaymo is batting clean up today vs Willy Peralta.
Inning 2: pop fly about 6 feet away from the right field wall. So close!
Jaymo gets his first opportunity to field a ball in the third inning. It's been a long time since he did that at 3rd. And yes, the runner was thrown out at 1st.
Inning 4: Jaymo makes it to 1st due to a fielders choice. Jaymo makes it over to third but the inning ends before he can score.
Inning 6: another poor at bat but Jaymo gets on board from an E2 throwing error. Jaymo gets to third but no more. A run does score that inning to make it 2-1 Brewers.
Inning 7: Jaymo hits a single with one on and one out. No damage is done though. The previous inning the Padres put up 4 to take the lead 4-2.
Inning 8: two on and two out and Jaymo comes up with an RBI single. That makes it 7-2 Padres.
With that the padres win 7-2. Jaymo had 2 hits and 1 RBI on 5 at bat attempts.
Due to a decent performance last night Jaymo gets a back-to-back start, this time playing first base. Jaymo willing be batting in the 3rd spot. Sadly it's retro day... for both teams. There is little eye candy for this matinee.
Inning 1: A bad strike out on four pitches. Ugly!!!
Inning 4: leading off the 4th, Jaymo hits a stand up double. Jaymo gets to third but in the process watches three players down down and the inning ends 0-0.
Inning 5: bases loaded two outs... Jaymo crushes a double and drives in three runs!!! Carlos Quentin then takes the plate and smashes one out of the park. That makes the score 5-0 SD Padres.
Inning 7: one on and one out, Jaymo goes deep but not deep enough and pops out. The score is 6-2 in the bottom of the 7th.
Inning 9: Lefy reliever Zach Duke offers Jaymo a high fast ball and Jaymo blasts it out of the park!!! 7-2 SD Padres.
The Padres end up blowing out the Brewers 11-2. Jaymo gets his first ever MLB player of the game.
Jaymo's stats:
5 AB
2 runs
3 hits
1 HR
4 RBI
This also marks four straight wins by the Padres.

Unbelievable! Jaymo is on fire at the plate and with his fielding yet next game in Colorado he is riding the bench...??? Jaymo is asked to pinch hit as per usual and he delivers a single with two out in the 7th.
Lol, that is harsh. Probably didn't want to expose you too much to the greatness that is Colorado.

Five games later before another start... Jaymo's bat is on fire and he rides the bench for a guy hitting .190 Padres managemetnt has some issues. They have made some curious position moves for certain games. Jaymo plays at first yet 1st baseman Yonder Alonso is probably are more consistent player.Lol, that is harsh. Probably didn't want to expose you too much to the greatness that is Colorado.

Some history made tonight in game 2 in Arizona. Jaymo pinch hit in the 9th and got a single. That gave him 20 hits on the season.
Speaking of Arizona... I despise this team!!! Pardon the pun but Jaymo is totally "snake-bitten" by these guys. Jaymo gets a start in game three of the Dbacks series in Arizona and it's an absolute nightmare. After a game like this Jaymo may not be in the starting lineup for awhile. Heading into the game Jaymo was hitting at .344 avg. After the game the batting aveage dropped to .318
vs. the Dbakcs game three stats:
at bats 1,2, 3 and 4: all pop flys...
error in the 4th inning... dropped a pop fly
at bat 5: ugly, ugly 4 pitch strike out...
For whatever reason Jaymo is a disaster versus the Dbacks, especially in Arizona. Maybe it's the stadium or the lighting? Jaymo is only hitting .150 vs the Dbacks. He has three hits in twenty at bats.
San Diego returns home for an inter-league battle versus the KC Royals. Jaymo is brought in to pinch hit in the 8th but then is asked to fill in at 2nd base. Jaymo has never player 2nd base in his career. Scary moment but Jaymo was responsible for 2 outs in the 9th inning. SD managed to win the game 4-3. Jaymo had no hit in his at bat. He is now officially in a mini slump. However, the Padres are pretty hot right now, winning 60% of their games in the past few weeks.
Check in time... at the 50 game mark for the Padres.
N.L. West:
Dodgers 31-19
Diamondbacks 29-21 (2gb)
Rockies 24-26 (7gb)
Padres 24-26 (7gb)
Giants 20-31 (11.5gb)
Jaymo's stats:
41 games played
68 AB
21 hits
3 HR
10 RBI
.309 avg.
.300 OBP
.500 slg %
.946 field %
Jaymo has only actually started about 6 games out of the 41 played.
This cold streak has been a brutal one for Jaymo.
last seven games:
ARI: 0/1 ground out
ARI: 1/1 single
ARI: 0/5 pop fly x4 and a strike out
KC: 0/1 ground out
KC: 0/1 ground out
KC: 0/1 ground out
KC: not in the lineup at all
STL: not in the lineup at all
Jaymo needs to get out of this funk ASAP.

A matchup with the Cards. Could this be a rebound game for Jaymo? In his last ten games he is only hitting .200. St Louis leads the NL Central so this may be a tough matchup. R Lance Lynn is the starter for the Cards and he is playing well. With Jaymo getting the start at 3rd and his first start in a long stretch he is pretty pumped.
Inning 2: deep centre field pop up and the hittles streak continues. That is nine at bats with no results.
Inning 4: strike out with 1 on and 1 out. That is now ten at bats with nothing.
Inning 6: strike out to end the inning. Just like that... 11 at bats with no results.
Inning 9: 3rd strike out of the game. 12 at bats with nothing.
Lance Lynn goes 9 full innings for the complete game shut out, only giving up 4 hits.
Final score: St Louis 4 San Diego 0
The horrendous streak continues for Jaymo. His batting avg. has now fallen to .288
Slump buster or snake bitten???... The Pirates are the next series for the Padres. Getting out of SD is just what Jaymo needed but will it make a difference?
Game 1: 0/1 ground out (13 at bats without a hit)
Game 2: 0/1 strike out (14 at bats without a hit)
Game 3 did not play
Game 4: starting at 3rd base
A rainy June 1st matchup as the 27-30 Padres take on the 31-26 Pirates.
Inning 1: Finally a single for Jaymo!!! Nothing comes of it and the score remains 0-0.
Inning 4: one on and two out Jaymo pops up and the inning is over. However, the Padres are up 2-1
Inning 5: Jaymo gets on base due to an E6. The inning ends with the next batter. The score is now 5-3 Pittsburgh
Inning 8: Jaymo grounds out as per usual. Looks like another streak is about to begin...
Pittsburgh wins 5-3. Jaymo finally gets a hit but this series did NOT turn out to be the slump breaker Jaymo was hoping for and needed. Jaymo needs to clear his mind and start seeing the ball. This attitude of swinging your way out of a slump is not working.
Finally a big game for Jaymo! The Padres travel to Chicago to take on the Cubbies. In game two of the series Jaymo got the start at 3rd (he pinch hit in game 1 and grounded out).
Jaymo's stats:
5 AB
2 hits (plus one sac fly)
1 HR
3 RBI
1 run
The Padres needed that win as they have been slumping badly as of late.
.309. What else can you do off the bench?

Yeah. That was before... I am now down to .272 and falling. Ice in my veins and my bat!
Is there something happening here? Jaymo is starting his 2nd straight game at 3rd base. Last game versus the Cubs jJaymo was 0/4. Another start is surprising to say the least.
In Jaymo's 2nd start the WashingtonNationals come to town. Jaymo gets to take on Strasburg for the first time.
at bat 1: ground out
at bat 2: single
at bat 3: single
at bat 4: single
Strasburg goes all 9 innings on 118 pitches. The Nationals wins 8-0. The Padres had 7 hits and jaymo had three of them. Jaymo needed this game badly. Hopefully Jaymo can get back on track now after seeing a huge decline in production over the last 15-20 games.
Less than 15,000 fans took in this game to watch the struggling Padres. SD now sits at 28-34. This team is 10.5 back and the season is spriraling out of control fast!
Major announcement: June 6, 2015
Starting 3rd baseman Chase Headley has really been struggling this season. He is only hitting .191 with 3HR and 12 RBI. Management has said he has failing expectations at this point. Jaymo, while battling through a slump has better numbers hitting .297 with 4 HR and 13 RBI.
Therefore, padres management informed the media that effective June 7th, Jaymo takes over as starting 3rd baseman for the San Diego Padres.
What a special experience. Jaymo's first game as a starter is a national broadcast of Sunday night baseball versus the Nationals. R pitcher Jordan Zimmerman will be chucking for the Nationals.
Inning 1: Jaymo gets good contact but fly's out to right field.
Inning 3: Jaymo grounds out (it was a three pitchi innig for Zimmerman...) 3-0 Nationals.
Inning 6: Jaymo hits a lead off double. Jaymo ends at 3rd but it ends there. It's now 7-0 Nationals.
Inning 9: Jaymo hits an infield single with 1 on and 1 out. It's already 10-0 Nationals but Jaymo is still giving it his all.
The game ends with the score 10-0 Nationals. Zimmerman went all 9 innings for the shutout. He only threw 104 pitches in the complete game shutout. Wow!!! Two games into the series and the Nationals starting pitchers have went all 18 innings. The Padres had 5 hits today and Jaymo had 2 of them. This team has no offensive punch.
On the bright-side that's six hits in two games for Jaymo. I think it's safe to say the slump is over. It's go time!
