Verlander pissed at Aybar's bunt to break up no-no?

It's time for a new unwritten rule.

And that unwritten rule is this: Bunting during a no-hit bid can no longer be considering a violation of an unwritten rule.
I don't expect a lot of pushback on this, especially considering the context that Erick Aybar of the Los Angeles Angels delivered his disruptive bunt on Sunday afternoon. With Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander staked to a three-run lead and aiming for the third no-hitter of his career, Aybar laid down a bunt in the eighth inning.

Verlander fielded the ball cleanly, but threw way wide of first base. An error was generously called by the Comerica Park scorer, keeping Verlander's no-hitter intact. That still didn't prevent the power pitcher from angrily yelling at Aybar from the dugout after the inning or the crowd from booing.

"Very surprised," Verlander said of the bunt attempt. "It's a three-run game. It's a close game. There's arguments both ways, but obviously from a pitching standpoint, we like to call it bush league. But there's arguments on both sides of it."

One of the many people opposing Verlander's view was his own manager, Jim Leyland, who called it "a beautiful play." As Angels starter Jered Weaver(notes) put it, "we're trying to score some runs off that guy and swinging obviously wasn't doing it."

Said Aybar:
"That's my game—I don't have power," he said. "(Verlander) told me he'd get me next year, and I said that was OK."

Ok..and the detriot scorekeeper marked it as an error, it actually didnt mess with his no hit bid..

well it was an error but they got a hit right after it because aparently "it through of Justin's rythem" i think Aybar was in the right, their in a sport where they have to win ball games not lose and watch a guy get a no hitter, he is playing to win and thats what he tried to due screw the other team you dont help them ever!
