Commentary for Menachot 17:14

ובעולה אפי' כחצי זית בשר וכחצי זית חלב זורק את הדם מפני שבעולה כולה כליל ובמנחה אף על פי שכולה קיימת לא יזרוק

If the remainder of the meal-offering became unclean or was burnt or lost, according to the rule of R'Eliezer<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who held (Pes. 77a) that the blood of the sacrifice may be sprinkled even though the meat is not available (either because it was rendered unclean or was burnt or lost) ; likewise with the meal-offering, he would hold that the handful may be burnt upon the altar even though the remainder is no longer available, and needless to say where only a portion of the remainder was wanting.');">¹⁴</span> it is lawful [to burn the handful], but according to the rule of R'Joshua<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who held that where the meat of the sacrifice was not available it is not lawful to sprinkle the blood.');">¹⁵</span> It is unlawful. Now he who says it is unlawful [to burn the handful], clearly agrees with R'Joshua; but he who says it is lawful, [distinguishes the cases thus]: only in that case did R'Joshua say [that it was unlawful], since nothing [of the meat] remained available, but here where some [of the meal-offering] remained available, even R'Joshua admits [that it is lawful to burn the handful]. For it has been so taught: R'Joshua says, If of any animal-offering mentioned in the Torah there remained an olive's bulk of flesh or an olive's bulk of fat, one may sprinkle the blood; if there remained a half-olive's bulk of flesh and a half-olive's bulk of fat, one may not sprinkle the blood.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For in order to sprinkle the blood there must remain a whole olive's bulk either of what may be eaten by man (i.e., the flesh) or of what may be consumed by the altar; (i.e., the fat) .');">¹⁶</span> In the case of a burnt-offering, however, even if there remained a half-olive's bulk of flesh and a half-olive's bulk of fat, one may sprinkle the blood, since it is wholly burnt.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And both the flesh and the fat are burnt upon the altar; hence a half-olive's bulk of the one may be joined with a half-olive's bulk of the other.');">¹⁷</span> And in the case of a meal-offering, even though all of it remains, one may not sprinkle the blood.
