Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Even with his struggles, I'm not sure you want to hand Bautista a second chance to end the game after you got him the first time around. Especially since an IBB with a pitcher struggling to find control often results in 2-0/3-1 counts as they lose the strike zone.
If you do walk EE, you absolutely need to bring Britton in for Bautista.
