The problem on most traps is that they happpen coming in toward the infield. The fileder is close enough that if caught and the fielder stays on his feet the runner would probably not try to score. If he slides of tumbles there may or may not be an attempt. In that case I think that call is best left to the runner and 3B coach.

Keep traps out of the replay.
