OK, I appreciate the support. I don't think I'm confused: the lineup is what is written on the lineup card.

The batting order is, as you point out, the lineup: a DH and the player he's batting for are both in the batting order (or 3-1-4 would not say, "A designated hitter and the player for whom he is batting are locked into the batting order."), even though just one of them bats.

So, whether we call it the 'lineup' or the 'batting order', the DH and the player for whom he bats MUST be in it at the same time.

Never mind. And I know neither of us is confused.
