If a pitcher plunks the batter straight after a no-no/perfect bid is broken then the pitcher should be banned for a month.
I like the fact OOTP will bunt in this situation. I play out all of my games and if I have a no-no going I do bring in the 3b if a good bunter comes up.

I don't buy the "rule" IRL and though I like Brenly as an announcer for my Cubs I thought he was wrong to go crazy over this.
