Dodgers president Stan Kasten added Japanese-style toilets to the team's clubhouse because Roki Sasaki said having such features could sway his decision of where to sign. Sasaki became a Dodger — and admitted the toilets factored into his choice. (via @ocregister.bsky.social)
Because now, even when they're having a bad inning, at least they can rely on a Yu Darvish-level of precision and control in the restroom!
F@ck this is so stupid
@pointlessexercise.com the Cubs chief sponsor is a toilet company but the Dodgers still have better toilets
Let’s take a peek at “Japanese style”! youtu.be/dq0IOyBrdWg
ok, I am a Giants fan, but I have to admit he’s right.
He's a good idea, treat your employees with respect!
This guy bidets
Dodgers Put the Bid in Bidet.
It also shows attention to detail and a willingness to do the small things so that can also impress a potential signing.
Japanese toilets are amazing.
The worst think about traveling in the USA is lack of bidets .
Not any more. There are worse things now.
Next headline on this topic: Line forms outside Japanese style toilets as the majority of the team only wants to use them instead of the regular ones
I mean, they're important
Bet his teammates now love them as well.
Those Japanese toilets are amazing, but when I went to a baseball game in Tokyo, the toilets in the stadium were squat toilets, basically a hole in the ground you stand over. I am guessing he is not talking about those stadium toilets.
lmao ridiculous 😂
Stop having a boring toilet; stop having a boring life
I’m in agreement. Public restrooms in Japan are the best! I want a bidet in every bathroom.
When corporate worlds listen to what their employees want to feel comfortable, it is a win win. Just like if someone born with the name Jack, prefers to be called Jane, that is a win win also. Listening and respecting each other isn't rocket science!
🙄
How’s he handle that shit (literal) on the road.
Ok,that’s a little extra..
Having just spent two beautiful weeks in Japan their toilets are indeed quite remarkable. I know it sounds ridiculous but they are superior to ours.
He heard American white men don’t wash their asses and he said “not on my watch!”
Now I'm curious - what is a Japanese-style toilet?
Looking at the quotes, it seems that the headline probably needed the word "modern" (vs. traditional) 😂
Heated seating and built-in bidet. It's the best thing ever, and my most favourite memory from Tokyo ;)
And they play music too!
Thank you for the explanation
Another thing I never needed until I found out it existed.
I hope this earned him a colorful nickname amongst his teammates
Have you been to Japan? Heated toilet seats, baby, that's where it's at!
@mollyknight.bsky.social
I give you, the Japanese style toilet. And I always thought a toilet was a toilet wherever toilets are accepted. Who'dve thunk it? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilets...
Crap ?
Screw the dodgers
He apparently does give a shit
So they have bidets now? Sweet! The rest of the Dodgers should thank him.
I can't lie I thought this was an onion headline
He def thinks we are a bunch of sickos at the bathroom 😂😂
Learned about the benefits of Asian toilets from Henry at TLPOTL
"Is this Heaven?" Field of Streams awaits Skidless Joe.
Japanese toilets are so much better than generic American facilities. Smart choice.
8?? #beatLA
Once you have lived in Japan and used the toilets there, it’s like going back to a hole in the ground with Western toilets
There is no question that a bidet should be in every household.
Guy wants to be comfortable and the US is still living in the stone age of toilets, I totally get it.
This can mean two different very different things. A lot of toilets in Japan are just built into the ground and you have to squat over it and aim. Then there regular toilets with bidets...
