joba0506.jpgRed Sox pitching coach John Farrell was a guest Wednesday on WEEI's Dale and Holley radio show. Asked about Joba Chamberlain drilling Jason Bay in the back in the fifth inning, Farrell indicated that the Red Sox did not think it was a mistake, and further indicated that they would remember the incident when the two teams met again. The Red Sox did not attempt to retaliate on Tuesday night.

Here's a little of what Farrell said:

"Speaking specifically about last night, he strikes out 12 guys, doesn't seem to have too many command issues, and if there was a purpose or intent to throw up and in you can disguise it a little bit more than making it very obvious with the first pitch in the middle of the back to Jason Bay. Those things aren't forgotten. We know there is a history there between the pitcher in New York and our guys here. ... I think history speaks for itself and we've got a number of games left with these guys."
