If it is directed specifically at the batter, and in my judgment, for the purpose of distracting him, it is going to stop either by shutting one's mouth or leaving the park.

While I agree with this approach - it's SP, with a mat, in a rec league - may as well put the ball on a T with a sign that sez "hit me". Swing the bat or go have another beer.
