Agreed. Should a pitcher not have to field his position in a no-hitter? That was a routine play for Verlander; he choked under pressure.

The distinction is that a drag bunt is not a trick play - which really would be "bush" in a no-hitter. If bunting for a single were ever a sure thing, then the all fast guys would be forced to do it every at-bat.

Cool thing about "unwritten rules" is that everybody gets to interpret what they really say. But I don't think ANY rule should say that everybody in the ballpark has to get on the same side as the guy throwing the no-hitter...
