If he wanted to keep a batter at bat after bunting foul for a 3rd strike,
would you just stay in the field and not "remind" him that batter is OUT?

He actually happened to be my clinician! lol
I think he may have thought it was one of those half swings that a batter tries to protect themselves with. The pitch was heading at the batter and he tried to avoid but swung out of instinct. I really don't think he saw the full swing. I was about to go to him and let him know what I saw, but just as I was, the opposing teams Coach started on him. After the third "but he swung Blue", he barked back with "I said he was hit and that's all too it"!
So I let it go.
