text: As any Rockies fan can attest, this franchise has provided some truly breath taking pitching performances throughout the years.
  
  My personal favorite, prior to this weekend, was the Jamie Moyer experiment a few years ago (he of the Stanton gopher ball that knocked out the Miami scoreboard lights, among the many other "highlights" of his time with the Rockies).
  
  However, coming on the heels of the fine eight walk (in 21 batters) effort provided by current number one starter Mr. Chatwood on Saturday, we come to the very definition of what fans have come to expect from Rockies pitching.
  
  In a performance likely not seen since the unfortunate meltdown that ended Rick Ankiel's pitching career, we have Mr. Ottavino's Sunday matinee. Clinging to a two run lead, he uncorks two wild pitches (in a matter of a few seconds) gifting the Dodgers three runs (and perhaps the turning point of the Rockies 2017 season) without even requiring them to put the ball in play.
  
  Simply astounding.
