The answer is easy guys...don't call the abandonment.
You're going to take a triple play off the board because a batter had a brain fart and didn't run? If they fail to get one of the advancing runners, then at the end of playing action call the abandonment. The offensive player's actions caused this play to break down, he loses all benefit of the doubt. Find a way to penalize the offense in this one, not the defense.
