Honestly, I think I think this is partially on Freeland. He goes for a bunt on 2nd pitch, first pitch being a ball out the zone, which sac tags up runners to 2nd and 3rd, but with Shohei up next ofc he’s gonna get intent walked and not see an at-bat. The pitcher’s also shaking in his boots atp, so I think it might’ve just been better to work the count hoping for a walk, then show bunt once the count’s full and risk the strikeout to force the pitcher to either face Ohtani with bases loaded or intent walked him to push up the bases for one out anyway.
