A 1-2-3 ninth for Nathan. AJax-Avila-Castellanos due up for the #Tigers ... followed by Gonzalez

Unconventional GIDP there. 4-3-6. But the run scores as Cruz comes in from third. 1-0 #Orioles in the 2nd.

Relish wins 1st hog dog race of the season, which goes through Fort McHenry, past the aquarium & ends right outside the warehouse. #orioles

July 26, 2008, vs. White Sox. RT @Mattler213 : @matthewbmowery when was the highest crowd?

Tyler Collins makes his MLB debut as a pinch runner for Avila.

First pitch of a very upbeat season in Tampa Bay is just minutes away instagram.com

by Jayson Stark via twitter 3/31/2014 8:04:22 PM
First overturn. Very quick. Was an easy call, but nice to see it timely. RT @AdamMcCalvy : Officially took 58 seconds to overturn the call.

Ortiz with a single vs shift into RF. Hes not 2-for-18 vs. Tillman

#qctimes OF Shawon Dunston Jr. will make his Midwest League debut Thurs for Kane Co at Quad-Cities, where his father dominated in 1983

#qctimes The Kane Co team Quad-Cities hosts in Thursday's Midwest. League opener includes four of the Cubs' top 30 prospects.

by Steve Batterson via twitter 3/31/2014 8:06:46 PM
#qctimes Shawon Dunston is one of two Quad-Cities players ever to win Midwest League prospect of the year honors. The other is Joe Mauer.

Braun does better in grievance hearing than replay review. 1st replay that is overturned.

by Jon Heyman via twitter 3/31/2014 8:08:10 PM
Napoli takes a 2-2 pitch to left for a 2B. Runners at second and third with two out in the 3rd. #orioles #redsox

My col: On opening day, baseball happened to the Nats — all of it. Cross fingers for Ramos. He deserves a (non)-break wapo.st/1fIvLms

Brilliant recovery by #Athletics Sonny Gray after knocking down shot up middle, Michael Brantley called out at plate, Terry Francona argues

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 3:48:38 AM
Sending best wishes to Don Baylor, after he injured his leg tonight. One of the game's great people and a survivor of multiple myeloma.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 4/1/2014 3:48:47 AM
#IIndians mgr Terry Francona appears to be unhappy about the amount of room #Athletics catcher John Jaso gave Michael Brantley at plate.

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 3:49:45 AM
He's down 3-1, but Felix has 9 Ks through 5 in Anaheim.

by CBS Sports MLB via twitter 4/1/2014 3:51:38 AM
Ruling confirmed on #Indians challenge of play at play. Michael Brantley is out. Game still scoreless. #Athletics

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 3:52:00 AM
Sonny Gray emerges from top of #Indians 6th with another scoreless inning. #Athletics still looking for a run, too.

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 3:53:27 AM
The replay was timed officially at 65 seconds.#Athletics #Indians

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 3:53:57 AM
And it was an umpire crew chief challenge, not a Cleveland challenge. The #Indians retain their challenge rights. #Athletics

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 3:54:39 AM
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 .

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:00:48 AM
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

by John Hickey via twitter 4/1/2014 4:06:42 AM
Re the play at the plate in Indians/Athletics game: Jaso was allowed to block plate because he had ball by time runner arrived.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 4/1/2014 4:13:19 AM
Triple-by-a-catcher alert: Mike Zunino ties it up 3-3 in Anaheim.

by CBS Sports MLB via twitter 4/1/2014 4:15:55 AM
A move Bochy said he would make often: Juan Perez coming in for Michael Morse in left field, on double-switch.

by Alex Pavlovic via twitter 4/1/2014 4:15:59 AM
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.
