Excited Nationals put final touches on new stadium, opening-day lineup - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

New stadium, new Nationals. That’s the way Ryan Zimmerman sees it.

On a day for finishing touches to the ballpark and the lineup, Washington beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-0 Saturday night in an exhibition game that also served as a dress rehearsal.

Before the game, workers mowed the infield and outfield grass at Nationals Park, getting that curly “W” in center field just right. There were wires being tucked away, pillars near an entrance being painted blue and other last-minute fixes before a crowd of about 25,000 filed in for the Nationals’ first game in the place.

And, in the distance beyond left field, there was the view of the Capitol Building dome, no adjustments necessary.

“It’s a new feel. It makes us a little bit more excited to come here every day, and it gives us a sense of pride,” said Zimmerman, none too upset to leave behind creaky, leaky RFK Stadium. “It’s going to be tough to beat us here.”

There are lots of questions as to whether the new ballpark will favor the hitters or pitchers.
