What would you have done about the batter and his manager for his comments towards the pitcher?
Thanks for the input.

I don't see what was wrong with anything the batter said. He just said if you throw that same pitch again, I'm gonna lose it. That shouldn't have upset the catcher. I see the catcher here as out of control. If he wanted his pitcher to send the batter a message, he should have just signaled it to his pitcher, not announced it in front of the umpire.
If I was the catcher, I probably would have called for the same pitch again, only with better location, and challenged "big mouth" to hit it out.
