Those sneaky player comments?

Been only umpiring three years HS and ASA. Working a mens modified pitch game on the bases with team A ahead by 9 to 11 runs through out the game, game ended in 6 innings. Their were 5-6 close base calls that went both ways and I was in a good position and confident all were good calls. In the 5th inning against team B a close force out call at second base from short fielder and next pitch the runner at first leaves early stealing second...I call him out to end the inning, some expected complaining right after the calls. Between innings as I was moving to my holding position RF after cleaning pitchers plate the pitcher from team B comes by me and says, for only me to hear...'that is two blue". I, just as quietly, say back, "let me know number three and we can figure out where you go next". The pitcher then says, "you are the paid professional, keep quiet". He then complains to PU that he has a right to complain even though they were good calls(?) PU never heard our exchange. After game we discussed what happened and concluded he was frustrated because his team was getting beat easily and they watch too much MLB on TV. I do not mind if they bark right after the call...but after the inning is over, they could ask hey blue what did you see? hey blue tough calls.

I have to admit sneaky negative comments seems to get to me especially knowing I am a hustling base umpire and most always in good positions and this night was very confident on all my calls. Question: Am I being too sensitive?
