It's a bit of a niche

The Week in Sports 4/24/18

Back on a once-a-week schedule now- let's get right to it.

Sean Manaea no-hit the Red Sox on Saturday in one of the more surprising events of the young baseball season. On Friday, J Cole dropped his new album, KOD. I guess you could say it was a big week for things lacking hits.

After a shaky start to the year, the Mets officially announced that Matt Harvey will be moved back to the bullpen. I think it's safe to say that we all prefer the 2012 version of The Dark Knight over the 2018 version.

In a game against the Giants last weekend, Angels pitcher Jaime Barria couldn't put Brandon Belt away as the two endured a 21 pitch at-bat. This is certainly not the first time that there's been difficulty with belts on the Giants.

While we're still waiting to see the results of most of the first round series, the Pelicans did wrap up their series against the Blazers in a 4 game sweep. Damian Lillard really struggled in the series, but I ultimately think it will be great for his image - he proved that he's just like the rest of us - he gets stuffed by the Holidays.

After hitting a game-winner in the Bucks' Game 4 defeat of the Celtics, a Milwaukee restaurant took flack for not getting Giannis a table when he attempted to eat there.

As a lifelong Pacers fan, the Lance Stephenson experience is absolutely incredible. Every time I watch him play, I think to myself, "That is one nutty dude". I was going to try and make some t-shirts that read "One Nutty Lance", but apparently someone else already owns the trademark. I wonder who that could be?
