I don't believe it was intentional, not given the count, the score. It wasn't even a head-hunting pitch; unlike the one we saw earlier in the game from a Padres pitcher. Quentin tied for the major league lead in HBPs in a season where he only played half a season. Charging the mound in that situati...
