After the game I asked him why he didn't run the player and he said it was too damn hot and he didn't have the energy to do it.

With this info from the poster, it apparently comfirms that the PU was in fact, aware to the actions of the batter. With this information, I find the PU remarks to his partner pretty lame. Without us knowing which league rules were being used, it makes it harder for us to rendere the correct decision.

Me and I'm working the bases and without knowing the real reason the kids tossed his equipment, you've got a first base coach, why not mention it to him what you saw and ask him to discuss the situation with the batter. If he declines, as the kid comes out onto the field, make your way casually to him and discuss it with him, short and sweet.

It's what we don't know that gets us into trouble!
