When did Sutcliffe become a RAT? Retired players who become announcers are just that. They know less about the rules than the RATs.
I don't think it was a flip either. He was not in control of his body and as he went to reach in for the ball, it popped out of his glove (in other words, the ball didn't come out as a result of Span pulling it out, it came out before).

The comment at the end of the clip is particularly hilarious when the announcer counts the steps Span takes, as though that is relevant.
