24-13: Best record through 37 games since 2004

[Angelsjunky]

Title says it all. They started 25-12 in 2004, btw.

[Taylor]

Being more than 10 games above .500 is neat.

[Warfarin]

Very early, but given there are 6 playoff teams this year, we're off to a great start in terms of positioning ourselves to qualify for our first playoff series in 8 years.

[TroutField]

Just keep playing solid defense and let the pitchers do their thing and good things will continue to happen. We don’t need to win 11 straight games (although that’s always nice). Just win the series

2004. The last season they were still known as the Anaheim Angels. No Los Angeles anywhere in the name.

Winning is better than losing, in my honest opinion.

When was the last time they were 11 games over .500 at any point in a season?

[UndertheHalo]

We love it.  Don’t we folks !?!

2015.  They got close in 2018 but best they ever were was 10 games over.

Yes. On July 28, 2015 they were 55-44. 

That team started out 54-40 and was 2 games ahead in first place. They went 31-37 after that and finished 3 games back. If they'd just played .500 over those last 68 games, they would have tied for 1st.

11 games over .500 over the course of the season puts them at 92 wins. If the winnings keeps going, this could be a 100 win team.

Well now you’re talking about something else. 
 

He said 11 games over. He didn’t say .649 winning percentage. 11 games over is 86-75 (I suppose with a rainout.)

Jeff will Chase Silseth pitch Friday. I need to know for my fantasy team.

I love it when Fletch calls you guys dumbasses. 

It's nice being able to take a day off.

This is a great math question. I will ask my 10 tear old grand daughter

We don’t know yet. But I suspect he will or they would have sent him back already.

Jeff, how much fun is it being a sports writer watching early results of this team?

Funny, we interpreted it differently and in both ways the math was wrong.
