I agree with the others but what you can do as BU is

get the attention of your partner as the kid is going to first base. In other words hopefully by simple eye contact the PU is now alert to what is going on and "can take care of things"

Also, I know as BU we should head to right field after the inning but this might be a good time to have a little chat with the PU between innings because as you say a "brawl" is just waiting to happen.
