    Are the Mets a World Series Contender????

    10-3 to start the season.

    Best pitcher in the world right now is Matt Harvey.

    Who can beat them?

    Harvey will be shut down before the post season and he isn't the best pitcher in the world.

    I'm a big fan of DeGrom.

    Yes if they get in the playoffs....May need to make a move for a big bat at the deadline...They also have a few top notch arms ready to go in the minors

    10 legit starting pitchers and DeGrom and Harvey are a nasty 1-2

    World Series contenders ... No they are not . I'm a Mets fan. But a wild card finish is very much with in reach this year. And a finish over .500 for the first time in years for a fact. Degrom and Harvey are Gona be a great 1-2 punch. If they trade for a big bat . Hint hint Tulo then the mets should be worthy of "World Series" contenders.

    Well if you are a wild card contender you are also a World Series contender. Both teams in WS last year were wildcards.

    Matt Harvey isn't a top 5 pitcher right now let alone the best in the world.

    Don't just look at numbers
    He's been hit but he's shown plenty of his old pre-surgery form
    I've watched every pitch so far, he's Definitely still a top 5 pitcher and will again be pretty close to the best in the world by the end of the year most likely

    He's better than sale man cmon be real here and your top 5 doesn't mean anything cause Price isn't in it and neither is Scherzer. Take out Waino and bumgarner and put in max/price and take out sale for Harvey. Waino couldn't strike me out and Bum is a top 5 post season pitcher no overall pitcher theres a difference. And dont forget about jose Fernandez he'll be back in 2 months.

    Look at Waino's stats last 5 years and find me a better pitcher.
    Anybody have 92 wins over a 5 yr span? And as for his Ks, averaging 200 and well over 200 innings pitched.

    Take out Sale and put in Price or Scherzer if you want and point is to say Harvey is best in the world is a bit of a stretch.

    Jacob Degrom is pitching much better than Harvey and no the Mets won't be in the World Series. You have to look at who they have beaten. Phillies, Marlins, and Nationals.

    The Mets will finish 2nd in the division and compete for a Wild Card.

    4th in the division? Are you high? The Mets will finish above the Phillies and Marlins. Mets have much better pitching than both.

    They have some arms which could carry them to a decent record, but their lineup will regress a bit. They absolutely won't win at this clip.

    Ok, so now the Mets have won 10 in a row, mostly due to superior pitching. Harvey, deG, and Colon can turn a decent team into a very, very good team.

    I'm not talking World Series (a lot can go wrong for any team - and I don't think the Mets are deep enough), but anyone trashing Matt Harvey is clearly not familiar with the subject. Definite top 5 pitcher, possibly the best, and he's only getting better. The team has a future.

    Mets are playing fantastic small ball right now. They are doing all of the little things to win games; moving runners over, taking pitches early, etc... and it is working.

    Agreed. Although the Mets COULD be deeper than you think if healthy. They should be going all-out right now to get one big bat or a good glove at short within the next 2 weeks to make this team lethal.
    They have one of the best farm teams right now so Montero or Syndegard in a deal to get a big name isn't going to kill them.
    Only a fkn moron would say the MEts aren't contenders or HArvey isn't a top 5 pitcher.

    Being a CONTENDER in MLB is anyone capable of winning a wild card.
    How many Wild card teams have won a world series? Quite a few lately.

    Mets can win that division, especially the way the Nats have been playing so far.
    Just bump this at the All-star break, we will have a better idea by then.
    The one thing I hate is that for a 2nd straight year when rumbles of collins being on the hot seat to open the year happen, the Mets always save him and secure him for a while with some good ball.
    He is by far in the bottom 5 WORST managers easily and will cost them a bunch of games like usual before the season ends.

    Managing means nothing in major-league baseball as long as you have good pitchers you will advance very very far
