The ball is live, and some play must be made. The LBR does not apply, even though the pitcher has the ball in the circle, because we have a batter-runner who has not yet reached first base. Any call made until this live play has ended would be wrong, and place someone in jeopardy.
Stand out away from the plate and point fair; and continue to point fair until play has ended under the rules (not just because they aren't making a play). Let the resultant fustercluck end, then, assuming the defense finally secures an out, give the offense an option of the result of the play, or the penalty for the illegal pitch (again, something you cannot do if you don't let the play conclude appropriately).
