WS Game 3 Top 1

Jacoby Ellsbury takes ball one at 7:36 Real Time. Awesome! The kid works the count full. He has a swinging bunt single up the third base line.
Pedroia steps up. Ball one. At 2-2, Pedroia gets an infield single to the hole at short. Two on, Papi up! 11 pitches, no one out yet.
Swinging strike one on a terrible pitch to Ortiz. At 2-2 Papi strikes out swinging. That can be an enormous out for Fogg if he follows it well.
Manny's turn. He's at .500 for the Series. Ball one. At 2-2, Manny flies to Holliday in left. Two down. 21 pitches so far.
Mike's up. Ball one. Only one first pitch strike to the first five batters. With the count full, Lowell flies to Sullivan.
Castiglione will call this a squander, but it was a productive inning. Josh Fogg was under pressure the entire inning, and had to make 27 pitches, and 16 of them were made with runners at first and second. That has already shortened his time in this game. Mazzone Measure: he pitched two innings in the top of the first.
Inning: 27 pitches, 15 of them strikes.
