The St. Louis Cardinals continued to struggle against the Atlanta Braves as they have now lost four out of their last five games. The team now sits at 44-40 and is on the outside looking in when it comes to the postseason.

Over the past few seasons, the Cardinals have never been able to get over their hump in terms of consistent performances. The team has largely been average outside of Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt and Tommy Edman.

Fans are tired of watching the team consistently be average year in and year out.

The Cardinals need to make a move at the deadline if they want any chance of making a run in the postseason.

Fans are not pleased, to say the least.

Overall, this has been a rough stretch for the St. Louis Cardinals as they continue to lose ground in the NL Central. The schedule will only get tougher as they face the Philadelphia Phillies at home this weekend before hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers next week.

It's safe to say that these next couple of weeks could determine the fate of the 2022 Cardinals.
