So your implying the rule reads:
"No pitcher may be substituted after one visit if the same batters at bat."
I and apparently the crew working the OP disagree.
The rule means you can't go out and "visit".
If C is yanking him, I wouldn't consider that a visit.
And IMO on the relaxed vs unrelaxed appeal, side on the D, don't ever disadvantage the D for the O error.
EX: R2 base hit, throw to retire R2 at HP swipe tag misses the runner, runner misses the plate and is several feet removed, but attempting to scramble back, mean while BR is digging for 2B. If F2 has his head about him and appeals, I would grant the appeal and hopefully allow an out on the BR at
2nd. Umpires like outs.
