As he comes back to retrieve his bat, he says, not directly to the pitcher, but loud enough for F2 and me to hear, "throw me that again see what happens".

This seems to be a major problem in sports today. F2 should have simply ignored this.
Perhaps the pitch was grooved and B1 was upset that he didn't blast it out of the park and said "give me that one again" IMO no big deal.
It was F2 who "took it to the next level" Depending upon the rule code you are using when you hear
" The next one will be in his ear" then IMO you now need to get both coaches involved because warnings need to be issued and according to OBR not only do we toss F1 but the coach as well if we judge the next pitch that comes way inside as F1 purposely throwing at the batter.
That's the problem with officiating youth sports today. Something so inconsequential as "throw me that one again" can turn into a fiasco.
