As long as it's not profane or insulting or clearly intended to get a rise out of the batter, I will usually give a catcher a pretty long leash on this kind of thing. If I feel like he crosses the line, or if there is an unusual amount of tension in the game, I will just say, "OK catch, that's enough talk. Let's play ball" and that's the end of it.
