As a result, many 3rd strike attempts were fouled off. I felt that these should have been 3rd strike bunt attempts. How is the 'bunt' defined?

If he doesn't square then I would not define simply putting the bat across the plate as a bunt attempt.
FED simply says a bunt is holding the bat in the path of the ball in an attempt to "tap it" into the infield.
