My question for you is,would you have ejected him,or even
reprimanded him for his language,bearing in mind that he said it directly to me,and most likely nobody else heard him.I have a policy of not ejecting a good catcher if I can
at all avoid it.

I would have just told him to watch his language. But you did ask for it.

But unless he was using his language so that everyone on the field could hear him, I would not go as far as an ejection. And if you eject him for that, you will do nothing but cause more problems with yourself. Because when the story comes out, they WILL BLAME YOU!!!

But that is just my opinion on the topic.
