Verbal Interference by SP Catcher?

[Linknblue]

ASA, adult slowpitch w/mat. Catcher talks as ball is coming to plate. Saying things such as "good pitch", "pure meat", "here's a fat one", etc. Simply talking smack in normal voice in attempt to get batter "thinking" about "stuff" and to distract concentration.

I'm told by some that this is clearly verbal interference. I tend to disagree since this is "adults" playing, not kids. My feeling is play on and tune it out. I can surely see verbal interference by offensive players trying to distract defensive players by yelling "Time" or things such as that or offensive coaches (3base) yelling "here, here" as throw is about to be made. But the catcher talking to batter seems a big stretch.

Am I off base?
