I Dunno About This....

      On March 20, the Padres and Dodgers kicked off a two game series in Seoul, South Korea. This was technically Opening Day for them, I guess, but the other teams still had a fair share of spring training before their seasons started.     Game 1 of the Seoul Series was a tight game. The Dodgers ended up taking the game with a four-run eighth.     In that inning, the game was tied 2-2 with runners on first and second base, one out, when this happened:     This was called an error on the first baseman Jake Cronenworth. I dunno about this call. If a ball is hit, and breaks through a fielder's glove, I don't see how it could be called an error, since the fielder did no wrong in fielding the ball.      I get that the ball wasn't struck particularly hard, and I don't know what it is that caused it to go through, but I don't think that this play should be scored an E-3 since Cronenworth didn't do anything wrong. He went to field the ball, and it broke his glove.
