Some things to watch in the Big 12 in Week 10, which gets an early start Thursday night with conference-leading No. 12 Oklahoma at Iowa State, which is already guaranteed a losing record this season.GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 22 Oklahoma State (6-2, 4-1) at Kansas State (5-3, 3-2). The Cowboys have a four-game winning streak since losing their Big 12 opener at Baylor, including last week when they handed No. 14 West Virginia its first loss. Kansas State is playing its first ranked opponent of the season, and the Wildcats are trying to get their 199th victory under coach Bill Snyder to become bowl eligible. Cowboys QB Mason Rudolph has thrown 17 touchdowns with only two interceptions, while WRs James Washington and Jalen McCleskey have combined for 92 catches for 1,459 yards and 11 TDs .BEST MATCHUPTCU (4-4, 2-3) at No. 13 Baylor (6-1, 3-1). This is the 112th meeting in the most-played series for both schools, and is tied 52-52-7. The first meeting was a scoreless tie in 1899. The last three games have been decided by a combined 13 points. TCU won 28-21 in double overtime last year. When the teams last met in Waco two years ago, the Bears won 61-58 with a game-ending field goal after overcoming a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes.INSIDE THE NUMBERSTexas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes, the national leader for passing and total yards, is also tied for the FBS lead with 38 total touchdowns. ... Oklahoma is 5-0 in Big 12 play for the first time since 2004, and is going for its seventh Big 12 title since then. ... Half of the Big 12s conference games this season have been decided by a touchdown or less. Thats the highest percentage among the Power Five leagues for close games. ... Mike Gundy got his 100th win as Oklahoma States coach last week against West Virginia. ... TCUs 3.9 sacks per game trails only Alabamas 4.0 nationally.LONG SHOTKansas (1-7, 0-5) is a nearly five-touchdown underdog going to No. 14 West Virginia (6-1, 3-1), which is looking to rebound from its first loss. Last season, the Mountaineers scored 28 points in the first quarter at Lawrence on the way to a 49-0 victory. Two years ago in Morgantown, WVU had a 26-0 halftime lead and won 33-14.IMPACT PERFORMERTexas RB DOnta Foreman leads the Big 12 with 158 yards rushing per game, which is second nationally, and already has the Longhorns first 1,000-yard season since Jamaal Charles in 2007.

NEW YORK -- This was exactly the kind of situation the New York Mets got Jay Bruce for -- late innings, hoping for a home run. Except now, manager Terry Collins felt as if he had no choice but to pull the All-Star slugger for a pinch hitter.Yanked for a guy who hadnt gotten a hit in the majors since May and was batting .159, at that.Collins strategy worked -- Eric Campbell delivered an RBI single in a three-run eighth -- but the Mets rally fell short Tuesday night in a 5-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves.Very difficult. First time Ive ever been pinch hit for, the badly slumping Bruce said. I always think Im the best choice ... but hes the manager and I respect his decision.He didnt need to explain that to me, he said. I obviously get how the game is played and you know what his thought process was there. I dont deserve any explanation from the manager.The Mets lost to last-place Atlanta for the second straight day. The defeat dropped them into a tie with St. Louis and San Francisco for the two NL wild cards.Bruce still ranks among the NL leaders with 29 home runs and 91 RBI, but has struggled mightily since the Mets got him on Aug. 1 from the Reds for two young players.The market, as you know, this is not Cincinnati, Collins said.Out of the starting lineup for two days as a mental break, Bruce returned and went 0 for 3, leaving him hitless in 12 at-bats and in a 3-for-38 rut.Bruce is hitting only .176 with his new team. The deal certainly hasnt turned out like the big trade last summer that brought Yoenis Cespedes, boosting the Mets into the World Series.I definitely didnt draw it up like this. Coming over here, its been tough on me. But fortunately the team has been playing really well, weve been winning games, were in a good spot when it comes to the playoff race, Bruce said.Im worried about the team, Im worried about winning games. I have plenty of time to think about myself. Right now is not that time, he said.Mets nemesis Julio Teheran pitched seven more sparkling innings and left with a 5-1 lead.After Curtis Granderson hit an RBI double and T.J. Rivera had a sacrifice fly, it was 5-3 with two outs and a runner on second in the eighth. Thats when Collins pulled Bruce and sent up Campbell to face lefty Iaan Krol.ddddddddddddIts one of the worst things you can do as a manager, to pinch hit for a star, especially one of the elite power hitters in the game. But you know, my job is to try to win the game, Collins said. In my opinion, I know hes struggling, I know hes had struggles with lefties.I think hes extremely frustrated, he added. I know I talked to him about it. ... Hes always had the ability and now he has the chances to, hey, just go out and play. And as I told him, this is a different situation here.The Braves have the worst record in the NL, yet have a four-game winning streak. They beat the Mets for the second day in a row and have won five straight at Citi Field.Teheran (6-10) gave up five hits and left with a four-run lead. Dating to the final time he saw the Mets last season, hes 3-0 with a 0.73 ERA in five starts against them.Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his 16th save in 19 chances. He struck out Cespedes with a runner on first to end it.Robert Gsellman (2-2) lost in his fifth major league start. The rookie took a 1-0 lead into the sixth before a misplayed flyball cost him.Atlanta loaded the bases with one out and Matt Kemp lofted a catchable fly to right-center. Granderson and Bruce both backed off at the last moment and the ball fell for a single, giving Kemp his 100th RBI.Jay, obviously, being the right fielder, is waiting for me to say something on that situation. I didnt and by the time I pulled up it was too late, Granderson said.NICE GAMEMets SS Asdrubal Cabrera reached base five times -- two singles, a double and two walks -- for the fourth time in his career. He last did it in 2011 with Cleveland.TRAINERS ROOMMets: LHP Steven Matz (shoulder tightness), sidelined since Aug. 14, possibly could start Friday night at home vs. the Phillies. ... INF Wilmer Flores (wrist) got another injection Monday. Collins hopes for a speedy return.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Ryan Weber (1-1, 5.46 ERA) is set to make his second start in the majors this year.Mets: RHP Bartolo Colon (14-7, 3.14) leads the team in wins. The 43-year-old is 5-1 with a 2.21 ERA in his last nine starts.
