Help a broadcaster out (re: baseball myths)

As regards to flip tosses from the glove, sure, you see it all the time. Check out Todd Helton's 40 foot jai alai toss last night ( it went 3 feet over the leaping catcher's glove and cost an additional run. But these are usually on grounders. I don't recall ever seeing an infielder snare a line drive and then do a direct glove flip to a base. If the receiving fielder muffed it and the ball ended up on the ground, an OOO might have cause to rule "no catch" especially if the flip toss was way off the mark.
