What if the hitter is Jarrod Dyson and his best chance of EVER getting a hit is to lay down a bunt? Should you just make him walk up there without a bat?
Even if it's NOT Dyson, it doesn't change anything. A bunt single is a legitimate hit. If you don't want the other team getting bunt singles, STOP THEM FROM GETTING BUNT SINGLES. Don't cry like a bitch about it.
That's like Brett Favre laying down so that Michael Strahan could break the sack record. It's bullshit, and it makes the accomplishment meaningless.

Or what if the guy up to bat is sitting on 2,999 hits and the pitcher has a no-no through 8 and 2/3?
Which milestone supercedes the other?
