Bunt attempt?

[greymule]

ASA FP.

Two strikes. Batter starts deep in the box. When the pitch is released, she runs up and a bit toward 1B, extends her arms with her hands still at the knob, sticks the bat out over the plate, and maybe makes a feeble slap at the ball, but it really seems like an attempt to tap the ball slowly within the infield.

In the past, when such a pitch was fouled, I called it strike 3 unless there was at least something approaching a legitimate slap swing. However, calling it simply a foul ball has met with no resistance whatsoever, so that's what I'm now doing. Never a question about, "Wasn't that a bunt attempt?"

I don't know why this issue never arose in past years. Maybe it's me.

What criteria do you guys use to draw the line between a bunt attempt and a weak slap?
