Besides, do you not have to determine intent every time a batter squares to bunt?

I guess where I'm going with this is, either we have OBS or we have INT. I don't buy the "incidental contact" argument. There's always a possibility of the batter hitting the ball, because we can't gauge the batter's intent to swing or not. If this were the case, then I've got OBS.

If I have a R on base, then there could be a possibility that by making contact with F2's glove/mitt, INT has occured. The Batter could have possibly INT'd with F2's opportunity to make a play.

In essence, it's a HTBT/judgement kind of thing. I could go either way... but I'm not just gonna call nothing.

(I don't see where you're going with the bunt question...)
