That all depends on what's being said.

Tonight I was asked repeatedly, "Where was that pitch?"

Usually I ignore this comment unless the catcher gets asked. Then I turn to the coach and tell him "It was in the
ball zone, coach" as I point my finger at him. That usually shuts him up. If he keeps it up or asks the catcher again, I handle it directly.
Never tell them where the pitch was.

I also overheard the coaches wondering why I wasn't giving their pitchers the same calls the other team got.

As long as this is just a comment you
over-hear, bear down harder and make good calls. If this comment is
clearly directed toward you, dump him. Never allow a coach to accuse you of cheating. That is what this comment infers - you are giving 2 different strike zones.
