Actually, a reason for it happened this weekend.

Steal was on, I was BU.. foul tip (which I heard), I'm of course moving from B to position to call the banger throw down at 2b.. I watch the play at 2B, but was unsure whether it was a foul tip or foul ball, so I glanced at my partner who signaled foul tip and then I rang the runner up.

It communicates foul tip, as opposed to foul ball... because the bat is heard to hit the ball and it is not always clear what the call is.
