Man, I hate seeing Clayton in the lineup, particularly at #2. Looks to me like Aurillia would be a better choice against Pettite.

I'm okay with that lineup. I'd rather not have Clayton in the two-hole, but other than that, it's decent.

Need Arroyo to buck up and get his second in a row.

I think Clayton has pretty good numbers against Pettitte...

Giving the Hatte another day off. Not a bad idea, honestly.

I guess Aurillia is in there. Man, I just don't like Clayton in the 2 hole.

Not a bad lineup, especially since Clayon has good numbers against Pettite.

I like the lineup (based on Clayton's number vs Andy). Go Reds!

What if this is how Narron does every lineup? Based on past performances against pitchers??

Well, the lineup does look like Saturday's.

But, yeah...I'm pretty sure he looks at that.
