Neither of these statements are in the rulebook. There a things a pitcher CAN'T do, and things a pitcher MUST do. If you are going to call a balk, you must be able to say to yourself... "The pitcher must do XXX, and he didn't" or "The pitcher is not allowed to do YYY, and he did."
"Looks like a balk" is not a balk.
"Looks like a distraction to me" is not a balk.
