It's not our job to "find a way to penalize" anyone. I'm kind of offended by the remark, in fact.
The question is --- what do the rules support?
Let's make this a little less 3rd world. R1, R2, 1 out. High pop up to medium CF. Batter, in disgust, heads straight for the dugout and enters it before CF makes a play. CF fails to make the catch, but recovers in time to fire to 2nd base just ahead of R1, and then F4 fires to first base. What do you have?
