Getting Your Point Across

[Jimmie24]

It is a lot easier to fill out an ejection report than to defend a comment like that. If it is to the point that you are going to say something like that, just point him out of the ball park. Not only will your point be taken, the next ump won't have to deal with the attitude as well.

You could have just told the catcher to have him stop. That gives the coach time to act. My guess though is that this isn't the first time the pitcher had behaved in this manner.
