Of course, they’ve struggled since losing Adenhart. The only shock would be if they didn’t! It’s not an excuse or a cop out. It’s a fact! I don’t care who you are, or what field you’re in or how badly you want it…you don’t go through that and not have it effect you.

Rome's Take on the Angels in the wake of the loss of Nick Adenhart
I know this tragedy has affected our team, maybe even more than we are willing to admit. But before we go all chicken little on our bullpen, our offense, or our team in general... realize that our entire team is hurt. They aren't all on the DL, but certainly everyone has a part of the heart missing. And for the detractors of our bullpen, remember that Adenhart was a team member for most of those guys through out the Angels Farm System.
