what i'm trying to figure out is why is the catcher penalized for making a mistake and not having awareness while the batter is pretty much getting off with no penalty. shouldn't both know what's going on?
Well one of the "mistakes" resulted in a positive result for the batting team and the other didn't. The mistake on the batter doesn't really have any ramifications no matter what happens from the defense. The catcher did the worst possible thing in this scenario.
I think it is worth noting that the way the OP described it doesn't seem to imply any intentional deceit from the batter. He just wasn't paying attention and incidentally duped the catcher into a mistake.
