better yet...
A lot of good umpires use the catcher.
A coach chirps, "Where was that?"
Tell the catcher, "Show him outside." When he does, say "Thanks for keeping your pitcher's head in the game." Since your mask is on and you are saying it discreetly, it appears that the catcher is nipping it in the bud. If he doesn't want to assist, tell him, "Hey, I could call "Time" and explain every pitch to your bench, but you and I know where it was - he just missed. Let's keep the game going."
The best catchers know that they don''t want to piss off the guy behind them. Most are polite to a fault and think that if they are helping you, you'll help them.
If the bum still won't stop questioning pitch locations, dump him as he walks by you to go to the coaching box. Dumping a guy in the dugout is low class and calling "Time" to go to him is for rookies. No one will know the words exchanged when he is walking by, and you aren't perceived as looking for it.
They don't get to argue balls and strikes - even when you've kicked it.
