Well, that's not really why you have lineup cards. You have cards so that you will know who the proper batter is, not so that you can keep people from batting out of order.
Imagine what happens when you catch the red team batting out of order in the fifth inning and correct it. You have just committed yourself to being the lineup monitor for the rest of the game. Now the blue teams bats out of order in the 9th and you miss it. Then the red team appeals and you call a blue batter out. Preventive umpiring?
