As others have said, I would clarify with the head coach which player was batting and which was fielding, and I always say "in the X hole". He verifies, I annotate.
It would not occur to me to have the coach "redo" or "correct" his lineup due to this (i.e., unorthodox placement of the DH), nor would I mention it to him.
There is no rule that specifies "how" the lineup card is to be filled out. I understand that Tim has helped establish a standard in Oregon that may have the effect of "rule" there.
Where I work that is not the case. And this is the last thing I want to get "pissy" about at the plate conference.
