By clearly inside do you mean a deliberate attempt to hit the batter.? Sure sounds like it and you could have a "nightmare" on your hands
If this was done continuous then I would probably warn both teams at this point before something "ugly" happens.
If this team was constantly throwing the ball
CLEARLY inside it is a matter of time before the "other" teams F1 "plunks" someone. I have seen it happen.
I am not saying that F1 does not have the right to pitch inside but from your OP it doesn't sound like F1 was merely pitching inside but throwing a "purpose" pitch which could lead to trouble.
