 FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Curt Schilling doesn't expect to start on opening day after he threw Wednesday to Red Sox batters in a simulated game.
He threw 63 pitches before Boston's game against the St. Louis Cardinals and said he made progress. But time is running out since the Red Sox have just two weeks left in the exhibition season and he hasn't pitched in a game.
Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said it would be a surprise if Schilling pitched the opener on April 3 against the Yankees in New York. Manager Terry Francona didn't think it was realistic that he'd pitch, either.
