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.Quote:

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

3 RBI
.303 avg.
.294 OBP

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

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.Quote:

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)

41 games played
68 AB

.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?

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!
So much for the starting position. Jaymo is back on the bench for game three of the National series. However in the 7th inning Jaymo comes off the bench in a 0-0 game to face righty, Doug Fister. Jaymo hits a single to move the runner to third. He will eventually score to give the Padres a 1-0 lead. However it's a short lived lead and the Padres drop the game by a score of 6-3.
Padres were swept by the Nationals. Washington starting pitching went 9 innings, 9 innings and 6.1 innings. The Padres could not generate offense. However, Jaymo went 6 for 9 in the series.
Padres hitting is terrible right now. The team is batting .236 and that number is being propped up by Jaymo (.313) and 1st baseman Yonder Alonso (.301). All other hitters are in the .100 or .200 range. Brutal!
Edit: for the next series at home to Miami, Jaymo is back as the starter.
Jaymo has thrived since being named starter. In the five game thus far his fielding has been 1.000. Currently Jaymo is on a six game hitting streak and over the last ten games he has been batting .424. Overall Jaymo's current batting average is .324
However, the dreaded Diamondbacks are in SD. Can Jaymo step up to the challenge and give it to the Dbags?
Inning 1: Jaymo hits an infield single. A few batters later Jaymo crosses the plate and it's 1-0 Padres.
Inning 4: Jaymo gorunds out with 1 on and 1 out. Still 1-0 Padres.
Inning 6: Jaymo grounds out with a man at third and the inning ends. It's now 1-1.
Inning 8: pop up to 2nd base. No matter though, as Jaymo's hit streak hits 7 games and more importantly, the Padres win 3-1

The Diamondbacks continue to frustrate Jaymo. After the 2nd game of the series with the Dbags Jaymo goes a horrendous 1 for 9. On the season versus the Dbags Jaymo has 4 hits on 29 at bats. His batting average is an embarrassing .138 In the 3rd and last game of the series Jaymo had another poor performace going 1-4. At least though he had an RBI and scored a run. With the closure of the Arizona series Jaymo has 5 hits in 33 at bats versus the Diamondbacks. His batting avg. is .152, up slightly from last game. However, in contrast Jaymo is hitting .306 on the season.
At the 70 game mark the Padres sit at 31-39. They are 12.5 back from the now division leading Diamondbacks.
Chase Headley has been moved to starter in LF with the injuries to Carlos Quentin AND LF David Lough. This has sparked Headley's bat againg as he is now hitting above .200 for the first time in a long, long time. It's not clear whether Headley goes back to start at 3rd once Carlos Quentin returns next week.

Jaymo is on the biggest cold streak of his young career. He now sits at 4 straights games without a hit. Over the last 10 games the numbers are atrocious!
Jaymo's current stats:
.273 avg
154 AB
42 hits
5 HR
17 RBI
.949 fielding %
At home Jaymo is hitting .279 while on the road he is only .265 Jaymo is hitting .310 vs. lefties but only .259 versus righties. Jaymo has struck out 22 times this season but many of those have come recently.
Over the last ten games Jaymo has fallen off the map. He is only hitting .162 with 6 hits and 1 RBI. Versus the Dodgers jaymo came up to the plate with the bases loaded... three times... and he struck out twice and ground out once. Right now glaciers look at Jaymo and say "damn you're cold!"
Also, Jaymo was leading the race for N.L. rookie of the year. He has now fallen to third on the list. Shortly after being names starter, Jaymo's slump began. If this keeps up there may be a change as 3B Chris Nelson is tearing it up in El Paso.
Finally!!! After 22 at bats Jaymo gets a weak hit down the 3rd base line to drive in a run and give the Padres a 1-0 lead in the third inning of game four. Jaymo keeps it going in the 5th with another RBI single to give the Padres a 3-0 lead. Sadly it was a bad strike out on the last bat of the day. Another hit would have done wonders for Jaymo's confidence. Two hits and two RBI is a good start to recovery...
Personal note: I may need to take a day or two off from RTTS. I am really flustered right now. Granted I got two hits last game but it has been a struggle. Even when I make contact I hit it right to someone on the other team. Case in point, versus the Cubs I smash the ball up the middle and it's going to be a hit... but it hits the pitcher in the head and goes into the glove of the Shortstop for a double play. I almost fell over when I saw that. Cold streaks in this game can be extreme and sometimes you need to walk away and regroup.
After a 24 hours off.. I'm back at it. The game is just too addictive to stay away...
After a decent start to the season and an impressive hot streak Jaymo has been pretty cold for the last month of the season. With just three hits in his last twenty games Jaymo was beyond frustrated. There were moments were it looked like a breakthrough might occur but they didn't pan out.
The Angels came to town for a two game series. In game two of the series it looked like Jaymo had his mojo back with two hits on four at bats, including a double. However, because Jaymo cannot catch a break, sliding into 3rd he sprains his MCL and will be out for at least 3-4 weeks.
Stats:
78 games played
.257 avg.
49 hits
5 HR
21 RBI
.958% fielding
The Padres are also dead in the water. At the 92 game mark:
Dodgers 56-35
Diamondbacks 50-43 (7gb)
Giants 42-51 (15gb)
Rockies 41-52 (16gb)
Padres 40-52 (16.5 gb)
FYI... the American League beat the National League 6-3 in the All Star game.
Overall the Padres did pretty well in Jaymo's absence going a very respectable 15-8, which included a 7 game win streak. Chase Headley took over at 3rd and really stepped up. Hitting .222 with a couple of dingers and a swath of RBI, Headley helped the Padres improve their record.
Jaymo's first game back is as DH against the Tigers in Detroit. Not the start Jaymo wanted with a 2 pitch pop out. In the 3rd inning Jaymo hits a single to start things off. He crosses the plate a few batters later for a run. Jaymo gets another single to lead off the 5th. A poor at bat in the 7th caps off a fairly decent return to action. The padres win 5-2.
With the win the Padres record improves to 57-60 (17.5gb)
Jaymo has somewhat return to form as of late. He has got his batting average up to .263. In the last 10 games he is hitting .342 with 13 hits, 2 HR and 7 RBI.
With 35 games remaining here are the standings.

Jaymo put a nice 5 straight game hit streak together versus St. Louis and the Miami. Feeling good, Jaymo went back home to SD to face his nemesis, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Game 1: a ground single and then three straigt out
Game 2: 0/4
Game 3: 0/1 pinch hit
Game 4: 1/5
In game four, the Padres blew out the Dbags 13-2. The Padres had 12 hits, incldung 5 homeruns. Jaymo for his part hit into three double plays and grounded out once.
This had the potential of a rokie of the year campaign for Jaymo but everything fell apart. At this rate Jaymo's hitting will be well below .250 be season's end.
25 games left in the season as the calendar hits Sept. 1st, 2015.
Jaymo's stats:
96 games played
256 AB
.258 batting avg.
.255 OBP
.383 slug %
66 hits
7 HR
28 RBI
.943 fielding %
The Padres aren't doing too much better as they sit at 64-73. On the brightside there is no way possible to hit 100 losses so that's a good thing.
N.L. West
Dodgers 81-54
Diamondbacks 78-59 (4gb)
Rockies 65-72 (17gb)
Padres 64-73 (18gb)
Giants 62-74 (19.5gb)
Currently the Reds and the Diamondbacks are in the N.L. Wildcard positions. The next closest team is Miami, 7.5 games back.
At this point Jaymo is just trying to finish the season. Jaymo is not to happy with the Padres skip. I don't think the Manager has used Jaymo well this season. Hitting cleanup for a non-power hitter has not helped things to say the last. Nonetheless, Jaymo's goal is to finish the season strong.
Just in case anyone thought Jaymo would let his "hatred of the Dbags go... you were wrong. In the 3rd game of the Padres-Dbags series, Arizona won the game 18-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dbags had 20 hits compared to the 3 from the Padres (Jaymo had one). This was the biggest beating of Jaymo's young career.
Looking at the minors:
PCL South
Bees 75-69
51's 75-69
Chihuahuas 72-72 (3gb)
Isotopes 60-84 (15gb)
So in AAA El Paso will not have a chance to defend it's PCL and AAA championships.
In AA action, San Antonio won the 1st half of the season and in the second half...
Missions 41-23
Hooks 33-31 (8gb)
RoughRiders 32-32 (9gb)
RockHounds 28-36 (13gb)
Since San Antonio won the 1st and 2nd half they have a buy t the championship series in the Texas League. Good luck San Antonio!
With the 40 man rosters a go, 3B Chris Nelson has been brought up. He has had a strong year in El Paso and was on the bench with the Padres last year. Great more pressure for Jaymo! As Jaymo is only hitting .222 in his last 10 games and has had no RBI, he is pretty flustered to begin with.
