Not a PBP bug but poss. something to look at

Situation is runner at first. Grounball hit to second (or where ever) and the PBP says "(Name of 2nd basemen) throws it wildly to second" it is followed by "(Batter's name) is safe at first!!!" "(Runner) moves up to second."

Shouldn't it be the other way around with the exclamation and main point being the guy at 2nd base being safe? And the after the play casual mention being that the batter is on first now?

Yeah, this has been logged and discussed at some length. I can't promise that anything will be done about it, but rest assured that like-minded people are pushing for such a change.

Thanks for reporting it. I'll close this out for now.
