You just don't do that in that situation, normally. The bottom line was Weaver wasn't gettin' one and they weren't letting Verlander have one either.

If I'm pitching, I don't want Albert Pujols to hit a home run off me either. And I'm going to do everything I can to prevent him from doing just that. Ayabar was doing everything in his power to prevent Verlander from having a no-hitter. That was a bunt. It's a perfectly legal play. NOT AGAINST THE RULES.

To me an "unwritten rule" is one that does not exist.
