IMO, there's support for any of the three calls, and it will take someone with more than an "opinion" to decide.

I consider J/R as more than just an opinion, as it is widely regarded as the OBR bible.
J/R says wave it off "if the touch is after the 3rd out".
I will guess 100% of the viewers here agree; if a touch of HP comes after the 3rd out, no run.
Seems simple;
1. you can score by "touching" the plate.
2. you can score by "passing" the plate., if no appeal.
I will go out on a limb and say you can't do both.
Runner heads for the DO, he's credited. "Touch" the plate, oooh, too late. To the top of the 13th we go.
