Could the Broncos beat the Rockies at baseball? Wild Colorado social media debate has odd poll results

Social media can be a bizarre place.

That was certainly true on Friday as a debate took place about whether the NFL's Denver Broncos could beat MLB's Colorado Rockies in a baseball game.

Local radio host Zach Bye posed a question: If the Broncos played the Rockies in 162 baseball games, would they win one.

A solid 66% voted "absolutely not," but that means 34% voted, "Yes, they'd win one."

And, well, that doesn't seem quite right.

Could the Broncos beat the Rockies at baseball?

No. No they could not.

There's no chance.

None.

Zero.

This is a sillier debate than whether a top college football team could beat a bad NFL team.

This is unreal. If the Rockies and Broncos played a 162 game season, the Rockies would go 162-0 winning every game by whatever score they chose to that day. https://t.co/6CNUOKr1iJ

There's a case to be made that the Broncos might be able to put out a few quarterbacks or other athletes on the pitcher's mound, and maybe they'd play OK defense.

But at the plate? A bunch of NFL players would struggle immensely to ever hit an MLB pitching staff, even the one belonging to the Rockies. 

Hitting is hard, even for guys who have climbed to the very top rung of the baseball ladder.

A team of professional football players would not beat a team of MLB players at baseball.
