Slade Cecconi's recent performance has deteriorated, affecting the Guardians' playoff chances in the American League. After suffering losses against the White Sox and Braves, Cecconi's outings raised concerns. He allowed eight hits and five earned runs over three innings against the White Sox and ten hits, eight runs, and two walks in 4⅔ innings against the Braves. Cecconi acknowledges his struggle with pitch execution and the need to better establish counts in his favor, ensuring hitters do not gain advantages.
"I am not executing pitches at the rate that I need to be executing at. I am not getting ahead and establishing the count in my favor."
"When you put these hitters in advantage counts constantly, it doesn't matter how good your stuff is, they will find ways to make you pay."
