What's up with Teixiera?

[nuggets]

His first two years he had a .923 and .959 OPS vs. LHP with 11 HR in 193 PA and 10 HR in 185 PA, respectively . This year he's at .716 and hasn't hit a HR yet and has hit 20 vs. RHP, which ties him with D. Lee for the season high.

Any explanations? Did they figure out how to pitch him from that side? Is this the part of his game that gets hot as the year goes on?

Madison?

i'm not worried about him, its amazing that he has 20hrs vs righties. Once he starts hitting lefties... watch out 45+hrs this year

I would tend to say it may be a sample size issue since he only has 73 ABs against lefties, but I agree, it is an odd stat.

Maybe they should only start him vs righties

I don't know if it's correlated, but has he faced more lefties AWAY from Texas???

I know that wouldn't cover them all, but less HR's away from Arlington could be part of that stat.
