What we're throwing down on the Table this week is great discussion with Pat McCarthy, radio voice for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs - the Phillies AAA affiliate. We dove into the future of the Phillies minor league system and whether there truly is some talent in the farm that could help the Phils at the big league level.But first, we gave our reactions to the Sixers closing out the first-round of the playoffs after defeating the Washington Wizards in game 5. (approx. 5:40)While it has been some time, we talked about what Philly college sports programs we're going to be following more in the future. (approx. 21:40)From there, we talked about the reports about the Eagles looking into acquiring Falcons WR Julio Jones this offseason and how truly ridiculous the concept of this actually is. (approx. 29:10)The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs have been fun to watch, and we gave our thoughts on intriguing teams and matchups we're looking forward to seeing as the playoffs progress. (approx. 36:25)Then we got into a discussion about whether or not Phillies 3B Alec Bohm should be sent down to the minors as he continues to struggle. (approx. 42:00)What we're throwing down on the Table is an in-depth interview with Pat McCarthy who does play-by-play radio for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
