Chatty Catcher

[FVB_Ryan]

Had this situation today, no one complained, but am curious about it. I actually thought it was quite humorous. I worked alone today, and took the usual one man position behind the plate. Home team catcher was very talkative, to the other batters (home team ended up losing, so it didnt matter). A couple batters conversed with the catcher, but most ignored him (verbally, though I have no idea whether or not his talking distracted them). Even if the batters ignored him, he continued to talk to them. Never anything offensive such as "nice swing, i needed the breeze" or anything....usually stuff like "number 2...any particular reason you chose number 2?" or "that was a good pitch, wasnt it," "let's see, 2-2 count, how bout a change up?," "you wanna a fastball or a curveball here one five?" Stuff like that. I found it rather humorous because like i said, he continued to talk even when not getting responses from the batters. He did this all seven innings, and did not say anything offensive or negative on a single occasion. I thought it was possible that he was doing it to mentally distract the batters, though I wasnt sure of it. Also, he never spoke as the pitcher was pitching...he stopped before the delivery each time, so i know that his talking wasnt DIRECTLY distracting the batters.
Any rule that says this isnt allowed? I didnt think so, thats why i didnt do anything about it. Any insight would be good.

Muchas Gracias.
