No pitch count

It seems Francona has confidence in Schilling's arm.
Francona joked that Schilling's pitch count would be between 40 and 100 before saying there would be no pitch count, then added the team would wait and see how Schilling performed and felt.

BTW, in case you're wondering, Timlin will be stepping in as closer. If you're wondering why Timlin wasn't closing before and Schilling was, take a look at Timlin's record when it comes to closing. It's going to be a bumpy ride. Good thing Johnson got rocked (back to back, baby!) today!
