Detroit Tigers' unexpected start to season is a pleasant surprise

Free Press sports writers Anthony Fenech and George Sipple give their thoughts on the first few games of the Detroti Tigers' 2018 season from Comerica Park.

OK, I didn’t see this coming.

The Tigers are actually watchable. They are entertaining. They are playing a fun brand of baseball. They are aggressive, stealing bases, playing solid defense, getting better pitching than I thought was possible and several youngsters are exceeding expectations. Best of all, they have a never-give-up attitude.

It’s like a show you discover on Netflix, which seems to come out of nowhere, one where the characters are likable and entertaining, and the first few episodes have you on the edge of your seat (three 1-0 games) and you think: OK, I can invest some time in this.
