They have a long way to go but pure stuff they are better. Degrom is a top 5-10 pitcher right now in my eyes.

I'm willing to bet that he will be very wrong
Harvey will have another TJ by then.

Smoltzie may want to go back and look his Glavine's, and Maddux's numbers. There's no way I take the Mets pitchers over the 93', 95, 96, or 97 Braves staff. Those four years are upper echelon in pitching trio history.

I'll take our 90s staff, including a healthy Steve Avery, over the Mets' staff. Avery looked destined for greatness before he got hurt. Maddux's 1995 season was a top-10 all-time season and probably top 5. We were all spoiled watching him pitch. Likewise, Smoltzie and Glavine.

I'm not convinced they are as good yet. They'll have to get it done on the field for several years in a row to even deserve comparison.
Smoltz is just being humble on his stroll to the HOF.
Bull****. I know he's just jesting. The Mets have a really solid rotation , but they aren't even remotely close to those teams.
Heck, I'm irrationally angry about this.

There are not many rotations through out the history of the game that can compare with the Braves of the 90s. The only one I can think of is the 1970 Orioles, but then they did not maintain that dominance on the same team for over a decade, I cannot think of any rotation that accomplished that other than Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz.
Think about this, the 3 combined to win 870 games, save 154 and finish a total of 293 games OVER .500 combined in the regular season. They also won a combined 40 post season games.
