Some of these posts are getting more and more like the baseball board every day! :(
Shipwreck - your question has merit in theory, but it's just not gonna happen on the field. LMan ws on the right track with his response, F2 has milliseconds from the time the pitch is tipped to see R1 start to steal, think "this runner is too fast", realize the ball was tipped, and decide to drop it.

come on....closing the glove on the ball is a pure reflex action by the catcher, there is no time to process all that is happening and decide not to close the glove.
I suppose if you want an answer to your question - I would propose this:
In order to intentionally drop something, you have to have caught (controlled) it first. |
