I still don't believe any of the pitchers were intentionally throwing at the batter.
You can almost always tell, even on TV. If it looks like a duck . . .

Given the history between the two teams, I would have issued a warning after the FIRST time the player got hit, and it would have been a stern warning (very loud, very animated). Remember, if the thought of "it was intentional" flashed through your mind, it was also going through everyone else's. It's being proactive - even if you are wrong, you are erring on the side of safety and nobody will ever accuse you of "looking for trouble". Obviously, given the history, you ARE looking for trouble in this case. Everyone will know that you aren't afraid of the situation, or dealing with it. And the odds are HBP's #2 and #3 would not have happened. Learn from it!
