Was it a bunt, or a swing with 2 strikes

[greymule]

By coincidence, I had an instance of this last weekend, and I'm not sure I called it right, though nobody said anything.

With 2 strikes, the batter appeared to check her swing, but to me it looked odd because it seemed a little early—slightly more like positioning the bat than checking an attempt to swing. She then held that checked swing over the plate and fouled the ball off. She did not move the bat toward the ball, but instead sort of froze her checked swing right where the ball was going to be. That's why I let it go, but I think I should have called it an attempted bunt and therefore an out.

Don't see that often, but it's a good question, and I'm glad somebody brought it up.
