Huge New York Yankees fan Nick Turturro is going viral on Twitter after he slammed the team’s manager Aaron Boone for choosing not to walk Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the bottom of the 10th inning Monday night.

Guerrero’s two-out single off pitcher Clarke Schmidt scored automatic runner Cavan Biggio from second base to give the Jays a 3-2 win in the bottom of the 10th.

“F—ing ridiculous, I just said ‘walk the f—ing guy, Boone, walk him. I don’t f—ing get this guy,” a clearly flummoxed Turturro raged in a selfie video from inside Rogers Centre. “Now I gotta listen to all this s—. All bulls— fans, they only cheer when they f—ing score. F— this team.”

After Boone said he didn’t walk Guerrero because he didn’t want Schmidt to face catcher Alejandro Kirk, Turturro, 60, went off again.

“Kirk is on deck,” Boone said, via Sports Illustrated. “You don’t really like either of those matchups. It’s pick your poison.”

What a joke. I can’t even answer that,” Turturro seethed. “All of sudden Kirk is Babe Ruth? I mean Vlad is a beast of a hitter (walking him) is a no brainer!!”

Turturro, who has appeared alongside his brother John in various Spike Lee movies, was in the stands hoping to see Yankees right-fielder Aaron Judge make history as he looks to pass Roger Maris’ American League record 61 home runs set back in 1961.

Judge, who has gone six games without a home run, led off the game with a single, then struck out twice and walked twice.

“Tonight’s the night,” Turturro cockily said in a video he shot on his way to the stadium. “I’ll be in the building. History baby.”

But Turturro wasn’t just fuming against Boone’s managerial decisions, the Blue Bloods actor took aim at Yankees shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa at one point earlier in the evening after a misplay on the field.

“Freaking Kiner-Falefa (is) killing us tonight,” he said exasperatedly. “Gotta make the damn plays, man!”

On social media, Jays fans had a field day roasting Turturro.

“Get yourself a street hotdog outside the Skydome and enjoy the rest of the night,” one follower swiped, while another took aim at Yankees fans writing, “Big Nick you call the Jays fair weather but at least they aren’t booing there (sic) own players.”

Later on in the evening, Turturro tweeted a plug for Master Steaks in Mississauga after he enjoyed a late-night meal. “Went to this cool spot after a tough Yankee loss!!” he wrote.

Earlier this season, Turturro went on a profanity-laced tirade when the Houston Astros beat the Yankees.

“The Astros are a boring ass team,” he ranted. “Nobody likes them. We have Yankees all over the world!!!”
