I knew you were gonna say that.. you are not understanding the difference between a swing/attempted bunt and a hit when applying the rules .. or the decided disadvantage you place the offense in applying the rules in the manner you are IMO... because of the hit its DDB .. had the batter swung at the pitch or attempted to bunt, it would be immediate dead ball (as opposed to letting some wild play ensue after an OBS when the ump knows the result, so the play is simply killed.. whereas with the hit you would offord the opportunity to the offense to get a better result.)
