Live: Baseball's Opening Day

3rd & 7 37yd

And it was an umpire crew chief challenge, not a Cleveland challenge. The #Indians retain their challenge rights. #Athletics

Josh Donaldson singles to center with Eric Sogard at second base; Sogard holds up, winds up not being able to score. #Athletics .

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:00:14 AM
Even on a rainy day, the #Athletics sold 1,000 standing room tickets to opener with #Indians .

A thought: What if MLB clarified the home plate collision rule by putting a hash mark near home plate, like the charge arc in basketball?

by Jon Morosi via twitter 4/1/2014 4:02:16 AM
As in, 'If the catcher is standing in this lane, you can still take him out.'

by Jon Morosi via twitter 4/1/2014 4:02:37 AM
Would need to get another look at the replay, but I think Morrison had to slide there because Iannetta gave him the alley.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 4/1/2014 4:04:33 AM
#Athletics put men on second and third with one out, but #Indians Justin Masterson pitches out of trouble. Still scoreless after 6 innings.

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:04:39 AM
RHP Luke Gregerson takes over for #Athletics to start the 7th inning. It's his first game for Oakland.

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:05:28 AM
The line for Sonny Gray: 6 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K, no runs, 105 pitches, 64 strikes #Athletics

Re the play at the plate in Indians/Athletics game: Jaso was allowed to block plate because he had ball by time runner arrived.

Triple-by-a-catcher alert: Mike Zunino ties it up 3-3 in Anaheim.

A move Bochy said he would make often: Juan Perez coming in for Michael Morse in left field, on double-switch.

Don Baylor has a fractured right femur and will undergo surgery tomorrow.

by Scott Miller via twitter 4/1/2014 4:30:07 AM
Justin Masterson is done for the #Indians after 7 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 1 BB. Mark Rzepczynski takes over. Don't make me spell it again. #Athletics

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:35:07 AM
Really feel for #Angels hitting coach Don Baylor, who suffered broken femur during ceremonial 1st pitch tonight. Awful. All the best to him

by Scott Miller via twitter 4/1/2014 4:38:41 AM
Update: Don Baylor unfortunately fractured his femur and will undergo surgery on Tuesday cbsprt.co/1mt5JZ9 via @cbssports

Bochy was waiting on the top step to greet Machi. Big time inning for a guy who had a rough spring.

by Alex Pavlovic via twitter 4/1/2014 4:43:32 AM
One of longest singles ever for Josh Donaldson, hitting top of wall in CF in Coliseum. Runners held up. Bases loaded, 1 out, no score still

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:45:51 AM
#Indians have a lefty up in the bullpen, decide instead to have RHP Cody Allen pitch to Brandon Moss. #Athletics

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:49:23 AM
Brandon Moss grounds out and we go to the 9th scoreless #Indians , #Athletics

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:50:05 AM
0-0 game, Josh Donaldson hits one off the top of the wall, lead runner somehow advances only one base. Headed to 9th with no score.

by CBS Sports MLB via twitter 4/1/2014 4:50:53 AM
Although there is no score in this one, #Athletics has seen 3B Josh Donaldson singled twice with a man on 2B; either one could have scored

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:51:23 AM
Closer Jim Johnson makes his #Athletics debut in 0-0 game in 9th against #Indians .

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:52:39 AM
Buster Posey hits one to Friday's. The Giants are going to get Sergio Romo in here with a lead.

For those who don't recall Don Baylor's toughness: He was hit by pitches 267 times, and famously did not react when ball bounced off him.

by Buster Olney via twitter 4/1/2014 4:54:54 AM
#Athletics Jim Johnson walks #Indians Asdrubal Cabrera to open top/9, then a single by David Murphy has A's in real trouble.

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:54:56 AM
Bruce Bochy last week: “You have to feel like you have the ability to come back, and this lineup does.” #SFGiants

by Alex Pavlovic via twitter 4/1/2014 4:57:58 AM
In Class 2A, Central DeWitt is ranked 16th. West Liberty starts year 3rd in Class 1A.

Well, @OregonLAA that's news to the Astros and Rangers.

by Buster Olney via twitter 4/1/2014 5:00:53 AM
Nick Swisher's hit pushes #Indians lead to 2-0. Coliseum #Athletics fans not happy; nor is Bob Melvin, who goes to Fernando Abad out of pen

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 5:02:11 AM
Will Jason Kipnis be the next Indians player to sign an extension? goo.gl/0wqxNO
