Did it look like it was on purpose?  Were they blows, or did they nick them.

The one to Utley was on an 0-2 pitch inside. Utley dives into the plate and it hit his hand. The one on Howard hit him on the arm. Given the circumstances I don't see it as being intentional. The umpire may have interpreted it that way because Howard had taken him deep in his last at bat, I doubt that was the case and hope it wasn't because I disagree with throwing at someone because they took you deep. I think that's a nag move but as I said, I don't believe it was intentional at all.
