Take a look at the text I emboldened in my post. This mechanic applies to all bases where there's a force. All plays on a runner deserve a call. The only delayed call would be on a runner missing homeplate. Then you need to wait just a second and see if the runner immediately scrambles back or heads to his dugout. If he scrambles back, he must be tagged to be put out. If he heads to his dugout he can be called out on appeal.
