Not that that really matters to me in this case. She still has to avoid F5.

where? Its not in the OP.
Any other details you want to dribble out as the thread goes on?
I know it's a TWP, but I'm simply contesting the post(s) that there is
no example where a BR would not be automatically out for being crashed by F5 (who is fielding a bunt). For discussion purposes, I don't think that is true. IRL, would probably never see it.
Your implication that a) batter weakly bunts and ball dribbles out slightly in front of plate; b) F5 is rushing in to field it, so; c) BR
must stand motionless in box to await F5's tag is absurd.
