I suspect it's largely organizational. The franchise, top to bottom, has embraced some of the sorts of tools that many Cardinals players have resisted. The swing vests and knob trackers and things like that are ingrained throughout the Astros organization.
You get on board or you get gone. That or you're just a guy like Alvarez who's a natural hitter and doesn't need it.
But this shit like Harrison Bader flailing at breaking pitches but resisting changes in coaching? Kid would've just been buried in Houston until he got with the program.
It's gonna take awhile for Albert to have an influence here, IMO. Because it's going to take an organizational shift from top to bottom.
