Few sports ask players to put themselves in a disadvantage for the sake of unwritten rules quite like baseball does, and we see that whenever a player dares to disregard them.
Elly De La Cruz walked that line on Friday.
When a pitcher is working on a no-hitter, it's an implied understanding among both teams that you can't break up a no-hitter with a bunt. The idea is that players should try to beat a pitcher with their best effort and not try to spoil history with a bunt. But on the flip side, bunting is part of baseball.
