I've jumped on college teams right away for mouthing off to the other team from the dugout. If you want to trash talk, go back to the sandlot. You let them keep going and eventually someone is going to go hard into a base, or a pitcher is going to plunk a hitter and now you have a bigger problem than if you just told them to shut their mouths in the first place.
I've never had a coach get on me for telling players to quit yelling, trash talking or provoking each other. All I have ever gotten are thank you's.
