Speaking of players showing up the umpire, what do you do with the pitcher who constantly gives these exaggerated expressions of disbelief on BALL calls?

Dakota,
When I have a pitcher giving exaggerated expressions send a message to the pitcher through the catcher. Conversation goes something like this:
Myself: As I dust the plate, "catcher...I know we are all part of the show, but you could let your pitcher know that I am the critic evaluating performances during this show, and if she doesn't stop overacting I will have no other choice than to end her performance. Please hustle back after talking with her. Thank you."
That usually takes care of it.

Michael,
I like that better than what I been using...I may "borrow"
that next time I have the situation. 
Will send you your check if I use it.

Glen,
Feel free, but forget about a check, just send some gasoline.
