If it really bothers you to see a team bunting for a base hit in a blowout, if that really hurts your feelings, then ask MLB to put in some kind of little league mercy rule for your team. Or forfeit the game, I think the rules allow you to do that.

They make millions and are supposed to be professionals. Why shouldn't a guy be able to work on their bunting in live situations? Especially a skill that has become a dying art and so many guys are horrible at getting one down properly.
This isn't the same thing as for example a top college football team facing some clearly outmatched directional school and piling on the score when it's not a fair fight.
