March 26, 201511 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) it brings "energy" to the soreness... well cool. That's the type of science you can rely on. I have had electric stimulation on a couple of injuries. It feels pretty cool and does seem to help. I've walked into the office for the treatment with throbbing pain, and walked out with a little soreness. Edited March 26, 201511 yr by Dick Allen

I've walked into the office for the treatment with throbbing pain, and walked out with a little soreness. This is a different version than what you had. The only time I have ever seen it used is in a non-union fracture of the hand. a non-union fracture is when normal healing is not occurring and the bone is not forming the callus to heal. It's usually the the last option before surgical intervention. They use it for horses because their bones to not heal well, similar to a non-union in humans. The horses are usually put down instead of trying to heal the bones, unless of course they are of a certain bloodline. I would seriously doubt if this sped up the healing process as his fracture has healed in a fairly normal timeline because it wasn't a full break but an avulsion.

March 26, 201511 yr Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 1m1 minute ago Don Cooper says about Chris Sale on @CSNChicago that if he doesn't hit a stumbling block, he's going to be ready to go on April 12th.
March 26, 201511 yr Pardon my ignorance, but why is 4/12 considered to be such an attractive return date? Why not 4/10, 4/11, etc.
March 26, 201511 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 05:25 PM) Pardon my ignorance, but why is 4/12 considered to be such an attractive return date? Why not 4/10, 4/11, etc. He has to be on the DL during the season for 6 days, since it can only be retroactive 9 days before OD. April 12 is the earliest return.

March 27, 201511 yr Chris Sale called today's simulated game "a real confidence booster." Threw 5 sets of 15 pitches to hitters. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/581511877814984704 Coop's encouraged by Chris Sale's 75-pitch simulated game. Next time, Weds could be a minor league game. And, 4/12 continues to look good. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/581506598914297856

March 27, 201511 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 2h2 hours ago Sale said 75-pitch session a "big confidence builder." He's moving well on foot, but can't cut yet. Possible minor league game in 5 days.
March 27, 201511 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) Joke's on me for questioning horse medication. You should question it. Although Bonds took many of the same PEDs that horses use so maybe there is a pattern.
March 30, 201511 yr Hahn on the Score right now. Threw out Sale may start April 11, which I didn't think was possible.
