I was saying as long as he had the bat down and in the bunt position and the ball hit the bat it was a foul ball and strike three. If he was attempting to vacant the batter's box and pulling the bat back and making no attempt at a bunt, I would have a foul ball.

Holding the bat down in the bunt position doesn't constitute an attempt in and of itself. So, if he holds the bat still or pulls it back, it's a foul ball and cannot be called a third strike.
