Shriking the Strike Zone

Was watching a game the other night and actually heard the PU tell one of the coaches that he was going to shrink the stike zone for his pitcher based on the coach questioning a call.

The coach was not out of line (he politely questioned a malicious contact non-call at the plate while tending to his injured catcher), and the comment from the blue was loud enough for everyone to hear. It sounded classless.

I know sometimes we joke about what we would like to tell coaches, but do you actually verbalize "coach I'm shrinking your zone"?
