Not a bug exactly, but I think this is probably where this should go.
One of the areas where the game has really improved since the days of OOTP4 (my first version) is the variety of the pbp. I play out a lot of games, so eventually there's little variety, but it now takes quite a while to see everything there is to see. (Here's hoping that we'll continue to add to this, and potentially to customize things further for individual announcers, but that's material for another post.)
However, there are some pbp combinations that really break the continuity of the game. It's always discordant to have that sudden reminder that the game is just sticking these words together at random. For instance, I just saw a fly ball to shallow center field. My pbp message was "[Center Fielder] coming on... and he makes the catch over his shoulder!" In reality, of course, no one catches a shallow fly ball over his shoulder - I don't even know what that would look like. I guess my suggestion is to comb through the pbp stuff a little more carefully to eliminate phrases that are inapplicable to certain situations - e.g., catching shallow fly balls over the shoulder.
