4-2-26 Hour 3: Nuggets & Avs reaction/Lets Football Go

The Polumbus, Hastings and DMac podcast episode dives into early-season performances of Denver's major sports teams, starting with the Rockies' surprising 2-4 record despite a positive run differential and strong bullpen play. The hosts debate whether the Rockies' recent one-run losses and road win over the AL champs justify optimism, ultimately agreeing that 40 games is a fair benchmark before making judgments. The discussion shifts to the Nuggets, who are praised for their historic 25th road win and elite offensive firepower, with Jamal Murray hailed as a team MVP despite injuries. Concerns are raised about Aaron Gordon's health and the team's defensive inconsistencies, but the consensus is that a healthy Nuggets squad could win a championship. The Avalanche are lauded for their consistency and depth, with no major concerns. The episode also covers NFL draft strategy, the Raiders' signing of Kirk Cousins, and a humorous debate on facial hair and the future of robot sports. A final segment explores the psychological tension between rooting for a team's success versus clinging to a 'suck' mentality, with the hosts reflecting on their own emotional investment in Colorado sports.
