The Cincinnati Reds shared a press conference with Joey Votto on Facebook Live on Monday, one day before the 89th All-Star Game in Washington, D.C. Votto, a six-time All-Star, answered all manners of questions from reporters. Here are a few highlights of the session: On former teammate Shin-Soo Choo being a first-time All-Star: “I was stunned when I found out it was his first time. If this...
Pro Football Focus still thinks the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line will be bad this season. This seems to be predicated on two things: Ohio State rookie Billy Price being no better than last year’s center and Trey Hopkins both being the starting right guard and being no better than he was a year ago. I’m not sure I agree on any of those points of view. (You can find...
When college coaches started talking to Springfield High School All-Ohio golfer Luke Wells during the summer before his sophomore year, he realized something for the first time. “I never really thought of playing college golf,” he said. “Then I thought maybe I could play college golf. It definitely made me work harder to be able to not just go for academics but to be there for something...
High school football practice is getting closer, and our team previews are already rolling out. Miss any? Don’t worry! We’ll be recapping them periodically. Here is version one: 1. Fairmont wants to prove last year was no fluke. After being one of the surprise teams of 2017, coach Dave Miller’s Firebirds (7-4) are hungry for a second straight trip to...
To borrow a phrase from the TV show What’s My Line, “Will the real Cincinnati Reds please stand up?” There was a perfect definition of what this team is about over a three-game span last week at Cleveland and St. Louis. On one night they scored seven runs in the ninth inning to beat the Indians, 7-4. On the next night the Indians cold-cocked them, 19-4. Then in their next game against...
Two more non-conference games for the Dayton Flyers have become known in recent days.

The first day teams can play is Nov. 6. The NCAA moved up the start date from Friday to Tuesday this season so the teams...
In his first year at Ohio State, Chris Holtmann proved he can develop an NCAA tournament team and an NBA prospect. Could he sign a potential pro, though? That was the biggest question the day Keita Bates-Diop declared he was foregoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NBA draft. (The Big Ten Player of the Year was chosen in the second round last month.) Holtmann signed...
Two members of the University of Kentucky’s 1978 NCAA Championship men’s basketball team will be featured during the 29th annual Ohio UK Convention later this month.

The Cavaliers will play the Los Angeles Lakers...
Dayton Dragons pitcher Hunter Greene topped 100 miles per hour on his first seven pitches in the Futures Game on Sunday at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

Greene and Trammell played for the United...
Will Scooter Gennett still be a Cincinnati Red at the end of the month? That is a question that has been asked for much of the season, and it might have a new answer — one a lot of fans will probably like. Gennett, a Lebanon native, is having his second straight great season with the Reds. This one earned him a trip to the All-Star Game. He has become both a fan favorite...

With five laps remaining in the Kings Royal, Brad Sweet was reeling in two-time defending champion Donny Schatz. Sweet anticipated a late-lap battle to decide the 35th annual Kings Royal. He got one. He just never expected it to be with his teammate and back-of-the-pack runner Daryn Pittman. As Schatz struggled to find more speed around Eldora Speedway’s high-banked, half-mile oval, Sweet found...

Billy Hamilton stole the headlines from the Cincinnati Reds offense on Friday night in St. Louis with one of the best catches of the season. Hamilton climbed the wall in center field to rob the Cardinals’ Matt Carpenter of a home run for the final out of the seventh inning. The Reds (42-52) already led 8-1 at that point and won 9-1, but the spectacular play will be long remembered. Amir Garrett...
Dragons outfielder Malik Collymore could easily be mistaken as a standout in that other popular sport. “I was going to play football for my high school but ended up not playing,” said Collymore, who couldn’t shake a hip injury back home at Mississauga, Ontario, and grew to a thick 6 feet, 195 pounds. “My dad said don’t bother, just stick with baseball.” Good call...

Today is a good day to look back on one of the seminal moments in Ohio State football. Aren’t they all?

The area is the home of George Chaump, who isn’t exaggerating when he...
When Malik Collymore lofted a fly ball into center field with two outs in the ninth inning Thursday night it appeared the game was over. But not before there would be two more errors. Quad Cities’ Logan Mattix dropped the easy out for an error, then threw wildly to first base as Collymore scrambled back. The throw went into the dugout for Mattix’s second error on the play and Collymore...

Luis Bolivar is a positive, encouraging manager to his young ballplayers on the Dayton Dragons. He’s aggressive on the basepaths and he makes as many moves as he can to give his team a chance to win.

The Dayton Flyers held their first team workout earlier this summer after the second summer session of classes began. The word of the day then — as it will be most of the offseason — was defense.

After the game, the Indians skipper admitted he ended up...
These Reds are nothing if not persistent, eh? Well, that and dramatic. Fun, too. So this 2018 Cincinnati squad is persistent, dramatic and fun. What else could you ask for from a sports team?

One of them was Rawling (after glove maker...
Ohio State football will enter the 2018 season with high expectations, as usual.

Here’s a story about a Dayton Dragons pitcher not named Hunter Greene. Packy Naughton is the hottest Dragons hurler after twirling eight shutout innings Monday night in a 5-0 win over the Great Lakes Loons. That ran his scoreless-inning streak to 22.
