For example, after a couple of semi-audible groans from a particular coach on a couple of outside pitches(perhaps one you know almost never does this), you ask the catcher (no - I don't normally do this, but I've heard and read that some umpires do):
PU: "Catcher, am I missing those outside strikes?"
F2: "Yeah, those calls were bulls---".
You initiated the conversation - he crossed the line (and if that particular line doesn't cross YOUR line, insert one that does for purposes of this example - perhaps "Yeah, you must be F---ing blind"). He's gone.

COMPLETELY different situation from the original post. I could possibly see an ejection here, but in the original post I think the most you can do is just ask them to watch their language.
Big difference from, "My pitcher ain't got sh*t!" to "Your calls are sh*t!" Daryl and Rut put it best.

I can't imagine asking someone to watch his language based on what was posted in the original post. Serious OOO.
