I suppose it’s too much to ask people to consider that, if he habitually made this supposed mistake of his, where be brings a corked bat to the game, the chances that he’d eventually use it would get pretty damn big?

Do I think it was a mistake? No, not really. Do I think this “oh look, he picked the _one_ bat out of 77, so he must have done it on purpose” argument is silly? Yup.
