The rat approach is appealing it and then complaining about how the umpires weren't watching the tag up since they "missed" the call.

I've never been a coach, but I guarantee this -- if I ever do coach, I *will* watch to see if a base umpire watches touches of bases and if he doesn't do his job (as so many around me where I live don't) I would appeal missed bases all day. It's one of my pet peeves with other umpires and I secretly hope coaches appeal on these guys cause maybe it would drive home how important it is to look at the touches of bases.
