Maybe you've played out a great deal more games than I have, as I was prepared to comment on the tremendous improvement over v2006's pbp. While I have noticed an occasional situation similar to those you mention, I find them to be very uncommon, nonetheless standing out dramatically when they do occur.

It'd be very helpful to the text team, I'm guessing, if you'd make a practice of jotting down a specific situation or very unique phrase that "seems out of whack" in order to help them determine whether it is, in fact, a text issue or one of chronology and selection out of their control. Baserunning decisions, as you've rightly pointed out, are probably linked directly to Markus's design, but again, a precisely documented occurence will go a long way toward helping him or his testing associates determine how to improve that aspect of the game. If you do decide to provide particulars, I'd suggest putting the issues (one at a time) directly into the Tech Support forum. Of course it won't happen ovenight, but it will eventually be evaluated and/or examined.
