Glenn and Griffin continue our Monday tradition for the 2024 baseball season Monday on GCR with ‘Three Up and Three Down’ where we rank the best and worst Orioles performers of the week, much like how we do with Pats on the Ass and Slaps to the Helmet during football season after Ravens games. The guys will each name three players, three trending up, three trending down, based on how they did for that week specifically. Offense once again is nowhere to be found, some solid pitching not enough as the O’s go 2-4 in road trips to Boston and Detroit.
Oh and good news! Three Up And Three Down is now presented by Costas Inn! Every Monday we’ll be giving away a $50 gift card for someone who participates so you can try delicious things like THE CRAB TOWER.
Without further adieu:
Glenn’s Three Up:
3. SS Gunnar Henderson
Real shame the biggest clutch hit of the season came in a loss.
2. OF Colton Cowser
OPS-ed over 1.000 for the week thanks in large part to his two home run game Friday night.
1. SP Corbin Burnes
Love your Game 1 starter again.
Griffin’s Three Up:
3. OF Colton Cowser
He hit 2 HRs, led the team in OPS, and didn’t strike out that much.
2. SS Gunnar Henderson
That RBI double was really cool. Too bad it wasn’t REALLY cool.
1. SP Corbin Burnes
Good thing he’ll have to pitch against the Tigers again, because boy does he hate Detroit.
Glenn’s Three Down:
3. OF Cedric Mullins
The “second and third, no one out” from the ninth inning Saturday particularly stands out.
2. 2B Jackson Holliday
Really interested to see what it looks like now with Urías and Westburg back. And yes, Saturday stands out here as well. There’s just no tangible benefit to being off the bag.
1. SP Albert Suárez
Just a really bad time to mix in two rough starts.
Griffin’s Three Down:
3. RP Craig Kimbrel
Thanks for the memories.
2. OF Austin Slater
He tried to kill Cedric Mullins. Doesn’t hit at all anymore. And shave the mustache.
1. SP Albert Suárez
Couldn’t have happened at a worse time, really.
Here’s a look at the season-long standings. Scoring is simple: 3 points awarded to the top player in ‘Three Up’ each week (then 2 points and 1 point), -3 points for the top player in ‘Three Down’ each week (then -2 points and -1 point):
