This has been the whole issue with this warning the benches after a HBP. You can't get inside the pitcher's mind to determine intent. Was it intentional...how has the guy's control been that night? What's the score? Has someone been hit previously? It's so hard to weigh all the factors and arrive at a conclusion that justifies tossing a guy just because of a HBP.

Now if they warn both benches and it continues, that's another story.
