In addition to Dakota's fine explanation I might add there is another difference between an intentionaly dropped ball and a ball that you let drop and pick up. If the hit is high enough that you can let it drop without fear that it'll get past you then the only way that you can turn the double play is if the batter isn't running and she should be allowed to be put out. If you catch and drop a soft liner you might get both the runner at 1st and the BR no matter how fast.
Carlton Fisk showed Deon Sanders what can happen if you don't run out every hit.
