The Indians Television broadcast team did not give Grady and Coco their due in the ninth inning....
The first error by the Royals was partially caused when Grady was running so hard down the first base line that the Royals second baseman saw Grady in his peripheral vision and rushed the grab of the ball, resulting in the error.
The second error SHOULD HAVE BEEN RULED A BASE HIT for Coco AND an error when Grady made it to third. Coco would have beaten that throw to first even if the throw had been on the mark, yet the Indians announcers agreeed it was an error, which could have influenced the official scorer!
Our announcers temporarily got spoiled by the all out hustle that Grady and Coco put into every run down the first base line and instead of acknowledging it, took it for granted.

What's really suspicious as well is this topic was blocked on Cleveland Live from responses when I first posted it and now I can't post it at all.
There is a connection between Cleveland Live and the Broadcast team, I can smell it.
How can anyone be so unsupportive as to not notice that Coco beat out that ball at first even if it hadn't been an error.

Trying stardom on for Sizemore
Young center fielder earns praise as player on the rise for Tribe
By Tom Reed
Beacon Journal sports writer
"Sizemore attempts stunts that would give Johnny Knoxville pause....His manic hustle on a routine grounder to second on Sept. 23 forced an errant throw by Kansas City Royals shortstop Andres Blanco in the ninth inning and enabled the Indians to escape with a 7-6 victory."
