I'm more on the side of C as well, although I might mention a certain problem if it's habitual as a reminder in pregame (for example, a team that's accidentally thrown bats in the past - a mention in the pregame and a request that they remind their players about it before we start might prevent an injury), but even in those cases, the pregame is NOT an official warning (the rules tell us to give the team warning AFTER an offense occurs - and doesn't give us the latitude to issue blanket warnings before offenses occur).
