Would this be considered cheap or just smart baseball.

BR game.
His pitcher has been pitching fast all game. Not really quick pitching as he is selecting the pitch and waiting a few seconds to throw it. But I can sense he's not trying to 'pitch'. He's just playing catch with the catcher.
Anyway it's the bottom of the third and it's an 0-0 game.
He brings in a relief pitcher. I pinch hit with LS Dyson. He has pitched low in the zone all game so I expect it and do a bunt and reach 1st. I even showed bunt prior to his windup.
Next up to bat is TN Turner. Now you would think with Turner up and Dyson on 1st; you would go into bunt defense.
Nope his pitches low again and I drag bunt with Turner. I get on base again.
Now it's Rookie J-Ram who's up to base and who has 99 Bunt and 99 Drag Bunt. So you would think bunt defense right?
Nope, pitches low again and I drag bunt again. But this time it pops up between the third baseman, shortstop, and pitcher. But since both baseman are covering the bags; it lands for a third bunt.
Bases loaded no outs. I then hit a long fly ball to his centerfielder with Prospect J-Rod for a walk off sac fly win.
So, was it cheap on my part or smart baseball because after the first bunt he didn't go into bunt defense?
I mean, it could've blew up in my face; especially that pop fly with J-Ram.

You played your opponent more than the game. Don’t misunderstand, I do not see any issue with this at all

You warned everybody, but it was smart, bad on him to let you bunt to load the bases.
