In my view, this whole situation could have been prevented by a little 'preventive' umpiring. I notice the batter's boxes prior to the plate meeting, and if I feel that they are too small, too large, misshapen or otherwise 'wrong' I get it corrected or remove the lines. Bottom line is, the home team is responsible for the field.

The situation we see in this video is out of control because the umpires let it get out of control. If the batter's boxes were acceptable to all concerned prior to the game, then they live with them for the WHOLE game.
