What is the right-lefty theory on pitching and why?
I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about but... Right-handed pitchers do better against right-handed batters than they do against left-handed batters. And left-handed pitchers do better against left-handed batters than they do against right-handed batters. Conversely, right-handed batters do better against left-handed pitchers than right-handed pitchers and left-handed batters do better against right-handed pitchers than left-handed pitchers. My dad explained to me once why it worked out this way, but I don't know if I fully understand it. Apparently, the horizontal motion on a pitched ball is such that, for a right-handed pitcher, the ball moves to his left, or to the batter's right. If you are a right-handed batter, the ball is moving AWAY from you, but if you are a left-handed batter, the ball is moving TOWARD you. And, apparently, it's easier to hit a ball moving toward you than to hit one moving away from you. Personally, it's incredible to me that ANYONE can hit a pitched ball, even when it's only going 70 MPH, regardless of which way it's moving, so maybe that's why the explanation didn't make sense to me.

Why do left-handed pitchers pitch to left-handed batters in baseball?
The answer is because left handed batters hit worse off left handed pitchers. There are two reasons for this. The first reason is spin. A left handed pitcher will more easily be able to put spin on a ball that causes the pitch to move from the right side to the left side of the plate (from the catcher's view). This spin moves away from a left handed hitter and toward a right handed hitter. It is believed, with lots of data to support it, that a ball spinning away from a hitter is harder to hit than one spinning closer to the hitter. That's one reason a left handed batter is worse at hitting a left handed pitcher. The other reason is sight and release points. The same principle of spin applies that a pitch moving away from the batter is harder to hit than one moving closer to a batter. Because of the pitcher's release point, a left handed pitcher will release the ball somewhere to the right of the mound (from the catcher's view) when the ball is thrown. If we assume the ball has no spin and is pitched to the center of home plate, it will have moved from the right of the mound to the center of the plate. This movement from a left handed pitcher is going away from a left handed hitter and going closer to a right handed hitter. There is not much difference between how well right handed batters fare against right handed pitchers and left handed pitchers because right handed pitchers are so common that right handed batters don't have the same level of disadvantage as left handed batters do against left handed pitchers. But the reason why right handed batters are better than left handed batters against left handed pitchers is mostly explained with spin and release points.
