Qucik Question regarding a bunt attempt

[[email protected]]

Had the same play happen to me this season and I followed up with the book after the game. The ump got it. One of the things I heard from another ump is that the rule about fouling off the third strike on a bunt was to prevent a batter from standing up there fouling pitch after pitch. But a missed bunt attempt is a missed swing--free to take first if the pitch is dropped.
