I should also mention the other visually obvious and good to see difference between players on the WBC Asian teams and the MLB players: relief pitchers run to the mound from the bullpen. I find the leisurely stroll that MLB relievers take to be the height of arrogance and absurdity. You're a professional athlete; you can't jog 300 feet?
But dude, it takes a solid 3 minutes for the PA to play 'Enter Sandman', and the reliever's walk in must be timed accordingly. You see, the game itself does not provide enough entertainment for us attention deficient fans (sarcasm intended).
