I wouldn't consider "Oh, come on" to be an appeal. It would be up to the league, not the ump, to penalize this coach for what he did.
What you've described is the kind of thing that can happen in a league where one coach knows nothing and the other decides he's going to take advantage of anything he can. It not uncommon.
To me, it's sort of a GIGO situation. The rules of the game were not written for garbage input, and sending up batters like that against a coach who doesn't know to appeal constitutes garbage input.
