I certainly don't sell it as anything more.
The lineup section is right above it. The choices made by the head coach roll out in lines and pairings, the numbers on the season to date are how those choices line up for that game at that time.
I think you're missing the point.
People get very upset if a player is scratched or dressed ahead of another. How the lineup has played in its planned state is a summary that either fuels that hostility or puts it to bed.
