I don't see anything there about warning the other team or other pitcher. So tell us, please, where did you come up with that?

I don't see anything there that
prohibits me from warning the other team.
Ozzy said I "
cannot warn the offense for something F1 does." I contend that I am within the rules at that point to tell the offense that if their pitcher throws at a batter it
will be construed as intentional and he
will be ejected.
If that is not a warning, then OK, I didn't warn them. I'll just eject.
