This is another one of those things that we know are wrong, but are not covered by rule. Personally, I have trouble inventing calls or creating situations. In this case, a few comments to the coach, ensuring that they are passed along to the player should suffice. If not, causing that much risk to the runners would be unsporting enough for me to get the first baseman out of the game. Maybe just because the first baseman is putting the runners at an "illegal" disadvantage.
