The San Diego Padres' postseason run came to an end with a 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, and the series also ended in a 3-1 finish. 

The offense was nowhere to be found, except for a solo home run by Fernando Tatis Jr., and Manny Machado nearly tied the game in the eighth before Garrett Mitchell caught the ball at the wall. 

It was a long, rocky season for San Diego, and a further, in=depth look will come later, but for now, let's focus on the NLDS. 

The Padres lost the first two games, each by one run, took Game 3 by a run, and lost Game 4 by two runs, so it was easily a series that could've gone either way with a handful of plays. 

Here are a few things that went wrong for San Diego in the NLDS loss. 

In Game 4, the Padres went 0-for-21 after the Tatis home run, and they managed a total of 10 runs in four games against Milwaukee. 

Machado had four hits in this series, but Jackson Merrill and Tatis combined for just five hits in four games. Austin Hays went hitless in four at-bats, and frankly, he might have been better off not being on the NLDS roster. 

The offense struggling in the postseason has been a recurring theme, and it struck again in the NLDS. 

Sometimes, teams get lucky, and there seemed to be plenty of moments where the luck tilted towards the Brewers. 

Ty France looked to hit a game-tying home run in Game 1, but it hit the railing of the roof and turned out to be an out, and that was the rule of the stadium. 

San Diego led in Game 2, and usually-automatic closer Mason Miller went in order in the eighth, but he struggled in the ninth as Craig Stammen asked him to get a two-inning save. 

It was uncharted territory for Miller, and even then, nine times out of 10, Miller ends the game with a save. 

Then, Manny Machado's near home run in Game 4, and it would've tied the game and given Petco Park all sorts of energy. 

Craig Stammen actually surprised many by leading San Diego to the playoffs. In July, the season appeared to be over, but this team turned it around, earned the No. 4 spot, and even defeated the Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card series. 

Still, Stammen's first-year manager experience showed on the big stage. He made some puzzling pitching decisions (what else is new?)

He made some interesting substitutions, and for some reason, he loved playing Austin Hays, despite the veteran struggling in the postseason. 

At the end of it all, Stammen will think about some of these decisions, but the biggest thing appears to be the lack of offense, and sometimes, there isn't much the manager can do about that.
