I hesitate to get involved in this, but what the heck....here goes!
You are both right! The original play was a question of a rule interp (touching the colored portion of the base) during a live ball appeal of the runner leaving the base prior to the touch (item 2 in ASA appeals) Now #75 was focusing on the use of the colored portion in his original post, BUT the colored portion was attempting to be used in the act of making a live ball appeal on the runner, so Irish's reference to the appeal is a valid one to enter all rules references (which you so vividly reamed everyone for not doing) reguarding the original play.
