Justme,
I think he is saying that the appeal has to be unmistakable, and that a fielder can't just kick the base out of frustration, or accidentally touch it in passing.
As long as it its obvious to everyone that it is an appeal, a live ball appeal need not be verbalized, unless multiple runners are involved. Then you would need to specify which runners' action you are appealing.
The case book situations he is refering to are on page 71, 8.4.2 Situations A and B.
