The ESPN article on today's game describes an "animated argument" between Latos and Bruce in the dugout. Maybe after Bruce failed to throw someone out at home on a sac fly.
Anyone see this? Anyone have further news?

Per Fay:
"Latos wouldn't talk about the words he and Bruce had. "Next question." Bruce: "Everything's fine"
and
"Bruce said the discussion was not about the sac fly. "Happen all the time."
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Good video. Does look like Jay started it. BP as the peacemaker.
I see a disagreement and a discussion. I don't see a fight. Much ado about nothing IMO. Heck, nothing to say it was even about baseball. Could've been discussing the new Star Trek movie.
ML: "Are you kidding me? New Spock is better than the old Spock?!? You're crazy!"
JB: "Look, I'm just saying he's growing on me. He's more believable."
ML: "No, ask Brandon. He'll back me up!"
BP: "No, keep me out of it. I like Star Wars."
JB: "Star Wars! Oh good god. Brandon you're retarded!"
Yep, I'm pretty sure that's what was said.

25 players on a team. I'm just going to guess when you play 162 games not everyone will agree with each other for whole year.

That's heated? Much ado about nothing.

Exactly.
That wasn't an "animated argument". That was just 2 dudes talking to each other.
Seriously, it could have been something like, Bruce, "did you use my bat last time? Why would you do that?" Latos "no, I got one from back here [pointing], I didn't think it was yours." Bruce, "well, I think you did, make sure next time." Latos, "geez dude, don't be so sensitive, I'll make sure not to use your bat anymore."
Who knows the exact topic. But it didn't look angry or lasting.
This sort of illustrates what makes this Reds team so cool, its loaded with characters that are always exciting.
With people like Chapman, Arroyo, Cueto, Latos, Votto, Phillips, and Choo this teams has a little bit of everything.
