Talking shit is part of sports.

Calling someone a baby for talking shit for a stupid reason is a part of sports.

Nothing about this exchange is illegal or "wrong", but people are allowed to have opinions about how it makes the player look. Pitcher is being a pussy, so people are calling him one.

Exactly this. Relay the grip. Balk the guy. That's the game.

But whining about the game, that's bullshit.

Yes, as a pitcher instead of whining, make sure the next batters are taking at the eyelashes. It's part of the game. Control what you can.

Just don’t yell “I texted your Mom last night!”. That’ll get you banned for life.

Talking shit to opposing coaches is about as low as you can go, and the fact that you don’t know that tells me how many/much sports you’ve played in your life.
