How do you handle a catcher's histrionics?

Every thing setteled down after that.

Slow pitch version:

Umpire: Catch, go tell you pitcher to calm down or he will not be around long.

Catcher (yells from behind the plate): Hey, a$$hole, blue said knock it off or he's gonna toss ya.

Pitcher: Blue, maybe you should be the one leavin'

Umpire: Okay, you can go now.

Pitcher: (here it comes, the standard response from a SP player) What? You can't do that, I didn't curse!
