"Technically" this is a balk for beginning a pitch [separating hands w/o a step toward a base first] and not delivering. Bob can describe it as he did w/o violence to the principle of IIITBTSB because he [Bob] knows the difference. Those who do not [understand the difference] need to stick with the mantra IIITBTSB, so that they don't invent non-existent balks [a favorite of the "balk to 2d" crowd is the throw to SS at his position].
