No, that is not a good or proper mechanic in any kind of ball.

I said I have.. not that I always do or always would (or that its correct, its not).. I've had games where the teams do around the horn appeals after every single extrabase play, play after play and inning after inning.. and literally lie and complain to the effect of "I wasnt watching, thus missing the call on the base(s) they just appealed" (which is all of them), when in fact I trailed the runners and watched every single base tag.. It was in response to "hes never seen it" .. well I've seen it and done it and make no apologies for it. I of course know its not proper.
